He taught that the Earth makes three movements: it rotates around itself once in 24 hours, moves in a circular orbit around the Sun in a year, and with a third movement rotates its axis so that it always points in the same direction and not pointing to the Sun. In the early 18th century, the Earl of Orrery and other English nobles commissioned mechanical crank-driven planetary models from watchmakers, which have since come to be known in English as Orreries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Copernican Orrery shows the movements of the inner planets Mercury and Venus, as well as the Moon and the Earth. The Earth rotates around its inclined axis, which always points in the same direction. One full turn of the crank on the gears made from rubber belts and grooved wheels corresponds to one week. It causes six different simultaneous movements, which are in approximate proportion to the actual orbital periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMany celestial processes can be explained from the Copernican (heliocentric) point of view, e.g. the Sun's movement through the zodiac or the conjunctions of Mercury and Venus with each other and with the Sun.

The Newton telescope consists of a primary concave mirror and a secondary flat mirror which is at an angle to reflect the light in to the eyepiece. Reflecting mirrors tend to be better than refracting mirrors as they avoid chromatic aberration and thus the majority of the worlds telescopes use mirrors! The main BAADER glass mirror with SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e coating has a diameter of 70 mm and a focal length of 450 mm.

His great idea was to replace the convex objective lens with a hollow mirror. Light hitting the mirror is gathered, reflected onto a small angled flat mirror, and then directed sideways into the eyepiece. Newtons first mirrors, ground and polished by himself, had diameters of 25 and 50mm and a focal length of 300mm. With this, he achieved a magnification of about 30x.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe power of the AstroMedia Reflecting Telescope is very similar to Newton's first instruments. The heart of the telescope is the main mirror, a spherical precision mirror made from ground and polished glass. It has a diameter of 70mm and a focal length of 450mm, and was specially calculated and produced for this kit. The eyepieces are fitted with acrylic glass lenses. With the help of Wolfgang Busch, Ahrensburg, Astromedia found lens arrangements that avoid colour aberrations and distortions as much as possible. The eyepieces achieve magnifications of 16x an 30x, which is sufficient to observe the craters on the Moon and, after proper adjustment of the main mirror, even the moons of Jupiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOf course a cardboard telescope can't be compared to much more expensive industrially manufactured instruments.

The advantage of the Kepler Telescope is instantly visible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohannes Kepler developed and improved the Galilean telescope. Instead of just one converging lens, he took two and thus enabled much higher magnifications. The upside-down image does not interfere with astronomical observations, which is why almost all lens telescopes are still built according to this construction principle today. Thanks to the additional field lens, it has an astonishingly large, bright image at ten times magnification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe performance of the telescope can be further improved by reducing the opening of the objective lens with a round diaphragm. The image will then be less bright, but sharper. Using our inexpensive tripod adapter (see below), the telescope can be mounted on any standard photo or video tripod. This stops the small vibrations from being handheld and the telescope gives a clearer picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Kepler telescope is easy to build and is ideal teaching material at Secondary School level.

It is an ideal choice for spectroscopy experiments, since holographic gratings exhibit significantly sharper diffraction orders than their ruled counterparts by reducing the amount of stray light produced. This results in an increased ability to view absorbtion and emission lines, with higher spatial frequency gratings. Diffraction grating is offered in 1000 or 500 lines\/mm. More lines spread the spectrum wider, less lines produce more, narrower spectra - unlike prisms, several spectra, or 'orders' can be produced.
