![]() For me, the most important thing is to choose equipment that will nurture your passion for stargazing and help it grow into a lifelong hobby. I personally prefer reflectors because I think you get the best bang for your buck. They both have strengths and flaws but ultimately they both allow you to scour the night sky and observe the celestial wonders of space. From a purely objective point of view, both refractors and reflectors are fantastic types of telescopes. The choice between these two types of telescopes ultimately depends on your personal preferences, observing goals, and budget. Outreach and educational program suitability In the below table, I compare both telescope designs against more than 50 key factors. Those systems often cost a few thousand dollars at a minimum. Premium refractor telescopes, mostly used by astrophotographers, employ apochromatic (APO) designs, which use a combination of three lenses to bring different wavelengths of light into focus at the same point, further mitigating the effects of chromatic aberration. On the other hand, high-end refractor models often use special glass types, such as extra-low dispersion (ED) or fluorite glass, which reduce the dispersion of light and minimize chromatic aberration. There’s no secret here, a lower budget means lower quality of material, including lenses. This effect can be mostly witnessed when observing the moon.Ĭhromatic aberration is mostly prevalent in low-end and medium-budget refractor telescopes. When this spectrum of light hits the focal point, the light rays (blue, green and red) do not converge at the same point, causing color fringing around the edges of observed objects and reducing image sharpness and contrast. The diagonal: An optional component placed inside the OTA that redirects the light path by 90 degrees, providing a more comfortable viewing angle and sometimes correcting the orientation of the image.Ĭhromatic aberration occurs in refractor telescopes because their lenses act like a prism, causing different wavelengths (colors) of light to refract (bend) at slightly different angles as they pass through the glass.Eyepieces are interchangeable, allowing you to try on different magnification levels and fields of view. The eyepiece: A smaller lens system, located at the rear end of the telescope, that magnifies the focused image created by the objective lens.The focuser: A mechanical component that allows for the precise adjustment of the eyepiece’s position to achieve a sharp focus on the celestial object being observed.It also maintains the proper alignment of the lenses. The tube Assembly: The long tube that houses the optical components, protecting them from dust, debris, dew, bugs, and environmental factors. ![]() It is responsible for the telescope’s light-gathering power and resolution. The objective Lens: The front lens that gathers and focuses incoming light, forming a sharp image of the celestial object.Let’s start by introducing both optical designs. I will also provide a detailed comparison of their advantages and disadvantages, which will help you better understand how each design may cater to your specific astronomical interests and requirements. I will delve into the inner workings of both reflector and refractor telescopes, discussing their key components and how they shape the stargazing experience. My article aims to shed light on two of the most popular telescope designs: reflector and refractor telescopes. However, for those just beginning their journey into the world of stargazing, understanding the differences between telescope designs and their implications for observing celestial objects is crucial to making an informed decision when choosing their first telescope. Dating back to Galileo’s initial astronomical observations with his rudimentary telescope, these optical instruments have been the most essential tool in the world of stargazing.įor seasoned astronomy enthusiasts, the various types of telescopes suitable for star observation may already be well-known. For centuries, telescopes have served as a portal to the cosmos, granting both professional and amateur astronomers a glimpse into the immense universe that envelops us. ![]()

We both cared so much about it, we both wanted to do well so badly, so there was never a time when one of us should have been like, ‘Eliza, hurry up! Corrine, hurry up!’ like we both were running as fast as we were, performing at the best we could do. So that’s definitely a concern, but Corinne and I had talked about it in advance, and we have a deep mutual respect for one another, and we also knew that there was never going to be a point in time, where either one of us wasn’t giving it our 100 percent. MJ: Eliza, was there ever a fear? I mean if I have a friend that I haven’t done something this stressful with… is there ever a fear, that when we come out of it, is our relationship going to stay the same? Are we still going to be friends after something like this?ĮO: Yeah, definitely, you know, you certainly worry about that teamwork you kind ofrely on the other person and on Amazing Race, often times, it does come down to one person failing a task and the other person, suffering the consequences of that as well. And so going into it I was really scared, I thought, ‘oh everyone else knows each other so well and this is going to be tough,’ but because we’re both, I think highly intelligent and very pragmatic people, as soon as we got into the training for it (in the weeks prior to leaving) it was immediately apparent that we were going to work super well together, like that wasn’t going to be the issue. It’s not like we previously traveled the world on vacations together. And we were like, what is it? Is it that we’re both Jewish? We’re both brunettes? We’re single? Like we couldn’t- and then all of a sudden, it dawned on us like, ‘oh, we’re both villains!’ So we sort of decided how best to work together as being people who hadn’t previously played together. So I was starting to just kind of figure out, like you know because we’ve been on a couple CBS shows there’s always a hook to it. MJ: Corinne, what was it like teaming with Eliza and what was your team dynamic like?Ĭorinne Kaplan: So I had no idea, at first, why they put us together only because naturally when you watch Amazing Race, it’s definitely like siblings or married couples or at least people who had played together and had an alliance on their original season. She’s still mad at me for having gone on with Corinne! I never imagined it at all, and we feel really grateful and lucky that we got this opportunity. ![]() I know many years ago they were thinking about doing a Survivor season of The Amazing Race, and at that time, I thought my partner would have been Ami Cusack which would have been fun. I mean, Corinne hadn’t even played Survivor yet, when I had completed my Survivor career… so I never imagined that we would be teamed up. When you and Corinne both played Survivor, did you ever think that you would be teamed up on The Amazing Race?Įliza Orlins: Well, certainly not, when I played Survivor. Let’s join Corinne and Eliza, they are on the line. Although I have a lot of favorite teams this season (considering I know, almost all of them). Murtz Jaffer: Murtz Jaffer here talking to my favorite team from this season of The Amazing Race. I recently caught up with Corinne and Eliza to find out what happened. Their frustrations boiled over on the elimination mat when Corinne and Eliza expressed frustration (and plenty of eye rolls) and being forced to share their final moments on the show with the Rachel and Elissa Reilly who narrowly finished in front of them to stay on the Race. The Survivor alums referred to themselves as the villains of the season and were eliminated after Eliza struggled with the motorbike portion of the roadblock task in Ho Chi Minh City. Wednesday’s episode of The Amazing Race saw the elimination of Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins. **Listen to the audio podcast of this interview at the end of this article.** Download file | Play in new window | Recorded on May 13, 2019 ![]() ![]() ![]() The steam-power riding chair quickly transformed in his imagination into a steam-powered boat, and Fitch got right to work. Fitch suffered from rheumatism and fantasized about a steam-powered riding chair that might ease his commute. In 1785, on his four-mile walk home from Neshaminy Meeting, John Fitch had his great breakthrough. Another unsuccessful commerical venture, transporting flour from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, resulted in his capture by a Native American tribe! When freed in 1782, Fitch settled in Warminster. After the war Fitch was principally engaged in land surveying and sales in several states, but without much success. In his youth we worked as a clockmaker, farmer, and silversmith before joining the New Jersey militia as a gunsmith during the American Revolution. The John Fitch Steamboat Museum puts Fitch center-stage.įitch was born in Connecticut in 1743. Robert Fulton, whose commercial steamboat service operated years later but much more successfully than Fitch's, is given greater credit amongst the general population for his achievements. The John Fitch Steamboat Museum was created by members of the Craven Hall Historical Society in Warminster to tell John Fitch's story and attempt to reclaim his legacy as the inventor of the steamboat. ![]() (Although, even free beer, rum, and sausages could not entice enough customers to keep the operation viable.) Several years later, he ran the world's first commercial steamboat service in 1790, along the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Trenton. Did John Fitch start the transportation revolution in Warminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania? The John Fitch Steamboat Museum argues that the answer to this question is a resounding "Yes!" After all, it was in Warminster in 1785 that Fitch invented the first American steam engine feasible for propelling a boat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Skype will not automatically be updated on any PC that doesn’t already have Skype installed.

It says even less about collusion and is devoted almost entirely to lobbying-related issues. Manafort’s case says absolutely nothing about the President. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement: 'The government’s filing in Mr. Mueller's investigators issued an extraordinary court filing last week where they accused Manafort of breaching his cooperation agreement and committing 'lies' during his interviews, only to lay them out on Friday. ![]() But then after the plea, he told the feds a 'different and exculpatory version of the events,' according to the filing. Manafort 'provided information about during his plea negotiations. He also appears to have held out about another unidentified investigation. The government is already forcing Manafort to relinquish millions that were run through a complex money laundering scheme. Manfort also 'lied about a $125,000 payment made toward a debt incurred by Manafort to a firm working for Manafort in 2017.' He made 'several inconsistent statements' to the government when asked about it. ![]() But Manafort 'denied that Kilimnik was part of a criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice,' prosecutors wrote. In September of this year, he pleated guilty to a count of conspiring with Kilimnik to obstruct justice by trying to influence the testimony of two witnesses. The document also referenced material that came up in Manafort's trial in Virginia, that he engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice by trying to get his story straight with Kilimnik, who was the key figure in a Manafort's business office in Ukraine.Īccording to Mueller's investigators, Manafort wouldn't even acknowledge things he had pleaded guilty to. ' claiming that he (Manafort),' the government wrote – without allowing the public to see what he lied about during its ongoing investigation. He 'provided different explanations for' and 'first denied that he had. He also 'lied repeatedly' about a ' meeting with Kilimnik,' although the first part of the subject heading is blacked out. 'The evidence demonstrates that Manafort lied about his contacts,' according to the memo from Mueller's office. That was long after Manafort turned himself into the FBI, which happened in October 2017.Īccording to another Manafort colleague, he was in contact with a senior administration official through February 2018, prosecutors write.īut according to the plea deal he signed, Manafort had 'no direct or indirect contact with anyone in the Administration while they were in the Administration.' On May 26, 2018, texts reveal he authorized a person to contact the administration on his behalf. The contacts extended all the way to 2018, even as Manafort fended off an indictment. The document lays out a redacted 'factual basis' for the breach, which underscores that he 'lied about his contacts' with the administration, notwithstanding his pledge to tell all in a deal that could reduce his prison time. The deal required him to provide truthful information to the government. Special counsel Robert Mueller's office spelled out in detail the 'lies' former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort committed – including concealing contacts with the Trump administration.Ī government filing argues Manafort is in breach of his cooperation agreement with prosecutors, which followed his sentencing on corruption charges.
