The telescope consists of optical
tube assembly (OTA) (), German
equatorial mount (), a tripod (3).
The optical tube is a basic
component of the telescope. It
includes all main optical units such
as a primary mirror, a diagonal
mirror and a focuser.
A Newtonian Reflecting Teles-
cope: parallel beams of rays
enter the tube of the telescope
and is projected at the focal plane
of the eyepiece (3) with the help
of primary () and diagonal ()
mirrors.
It is necessary to use black filter
(4), having established it on the
eyepiece, while observing the solar
events.
The primary mirror is spherical, the
diagonal mirror is flat. Both mirrors
are covered with high reflection
aluminum coatings with protective
level. For flash reduction the internal
tube surface is blackened.
The eyepiece has Ramsden
scheme.
The telescope gives inverted
image.
