COMPUTERIZED OBJECT- LOCATION AND TRACKING What About Power? To calculate power, divide the focal length of the telescope (e.g., 700mm for Model NG-70) by the focal length of the eyepiece (e.g., 25mm). Lower power eyepieces (e.g., 25mm) offer wide fields of view for observing deep-space and terrestrial objects. Higher power eyepieces (e.g., 9mm) offer greater magnification and are useful for observing surface detail on the Moon and planets. The Importance of Computerized Tracking and Object-Lo

TYPES Types of Telescopes All telescopes fall into one of three optical classes. Refracting Telescopes, like the Meade Model NGC-70, use a large objective lens as their primary light- collecting element. Meade® refractors include achromatic (2-element) objective lenses in order to reduce false color that results when light passes through a lens. Reflecting Telescopes use a concave primary mirror to collect light and form an image. In the Newtonian type of reflector telescope, the Meade Model D
