Although optical telescopes are the type most commonly used for stargazing and amateur astronomy, lots of astronomical research is done on telescopes that look at other wavelengths of light. Each of these wavelength ranges shows us something unique about the universe and allows us to view events and objects that can't be seen with human eyes.
An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct view, or to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.sing an example of an amateur telescope such as a Newtonian telescope with an aperture of 130 mm (5) and focal length of 650mm (25.5), we use an eyepiece with a focal length of 8 mm and apparent field of view of 52Â°.
