Telescope Observations
Our Telescope
The instrument is a Celestron C-11 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, with an aperture of 28cm (11″) and a focal length of 2.8 meters. With the eyepieces we are using, it typically has a magnification of 150 to 300, and could go up to 600. It has a theoretical resolving power of 0.41 arc seconds, which corresponds to a smallest visible feature size of 1.6 km on the moon. (You could easily see “Bilkent’s moon campus” with this telescope if it were the same size as its Earth campus.)
