AI Thread Summary
To determine the celestial objects visible with a telescope featuring a 100 cm focal length and a 10 cm lens diameter, one must consider the telescope's resolving power and the CCD camera's specifications, including its pixel matrix of 1530x1020 pixels and pixel size of 9x9 nanometers. Objects like the Moon, Mars, and the Andromeda Galaxy are potential targets for imaging. The visible region will depend on the telescope's field of view, which can be calculated using the focal length and the camera's pixel dimensions. Users can utilize online calculators to assess the specific capabilities and limitations of their setup. This analysis aids in optimizing the selection of astronomical objects for observation and photography.

How to determine the obejcts that are possible to be captured with a telescope ( focal length 100 cm, lense diameter 10 cm) and a CCD camera (matrix: 1530x1020 pixels and the length of each pixel 9x9 nanometers). For example the objects could be the moon, Mars, Andromeda galaxy... And what would be the visible region of this system?

Thanks in advance

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
