Lessons Learned in Astronomy: Telescopes 1

This is the first of two episodes talking about telescopes in my 'Lessons Learned' series. Today we discuss the parts of a telescope and terms used to describe them- aperture, focal length, f/stop and touch on mirrors vs lenses. In our next episode we'll talk about the different designs of telescopes, how to select the right telescope for the right job, and which one should be your first telescope.
