Embodiment Construction

[0027] Referring to the drawings, 1 has generally indicated a mount for a telescope 5 of known type, while 100 has indicated an astronomical observation device comprising the mount 1 and the telescope 5 .

[0028] The telescope 5, shown schematically as a cylinder, may be of the refractive or more generally reflective type. For example, it may be a Newton, Dobson, Cassegrain, Schmidt-Cassegrain, catadioptric telescope, or derivatives and variants thereof. This type of telescope consists of a primary mirror whose diameter, focal length, and optical configuration determine the brightness and contrast of the image, and an optical system of varying complexity that transmits the image to the eyepiece, This will be what causes the image to magnify. Reflecting telescopes can be made with larger optics while remaining compact and lightweight compared to refracting telescopes; moreover, they are less expensive than refracting telescopes for the same optical aperture and are thus a pop...

Abstract

A first aspect of the invention relates to a mount (1) for a telescope (5). The mount comprises: a basement (2) with a fixed portion (3) and a pivoting portion (4); a first rocking structure (7), mounted to the basement, which rotates by 90 DEG on a plane perpendicular to the basement; a second rocking structure (8), mounted to the first structure, which defines an axis AR and rotates by 180 DEG about AR; a polar telescope (12), mounted to the second structure, with the optical axis aligned with AR; rotating joints (13), mounted to the second structure, defining an axis D incident and perpendicular to AR; a hose clamp (14), mounted to the rotating joints, and defining a housing for a telescope; a finder telescope (15), mounted to the rotating joints or clamp, with the optical axis Xc being aligned with the housing defined by the clamp. A second aspect of the invention relates to a method for the precise polar position of a telescope supported by this mount.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for the polar coordinate positioning of telescopes, in particular for amateur or semi-amateur portable telescopes, but it can also be used for stationary telescopes and professional telescopes. [0002] The invention includes a support for equatorial ceremonies, an astronomical observation system comprising the support and a telescope, and a method for realizing precise polar coordinate positioning by using the support. Background technique [0003] In the field of astronomical observation, in order to observe celestial bodies, where the equatorial coordinate system (right ascension and declination) is known, it is necessary to align the polar axis of the telescope with the polar axis of the earth. Thus, the effect of the Earth's rotation about the polar axis is counteracted by an antagonistic right ascension shift. Thus, systems are known to achieve this polar positioning using both motor-driven and manually-...
