Ian S asked: How do you calculate FWHM of the primary beam of the telescope from wavelength and dish size?
I assume there is some simple formula, and it goes something like Field of View ~= Lamda/Dish Diameter.

Freezing Temperature asked: Could an amateur portable telescope do it? Do you need a camera run overnight to see a nebula?

Cullum Andrews asked: My telescope needs a good dusting but I don’t want to scratch the mirrors and lenses. I have some sunglasses cleaner and the cloth that comes with it. At first this seamed ideal, but then it dawned on me that perhaps a the moisture can get between the lenses and fog up upon use also the mirrors can scratch from the cloth.

McDonald asked: My question is, if we were to build a gigantic telescope that could show us incredible detail on planets, would we actually be seeing what’s happening on the planet in real-time, or would we still see what’s happened several minutes ago because of the fact that light has to travel down to us to see anything. Thats supposing we could view, or record live views through the telescope eyepiece.
By the way, I know how expensive and difficult this would be, but if we in theory did make such a telescope, would we be viewing in real-time?

n a b z i l l a ♥ asked: My friend has his birthday coming up and he’s really into astronomy and the such and has wanted a telescope for a while. I was wondering what would be a really good telescope to get him that isn’t too expensive. Also I would like to know the details, eg magnification or whatever, because im not really familiar with telescopes. Thank you.
