WOOO! I've done 2 and a half pages of my optics assignment. Just need to finish writing about astigmatic and comatic aberrations and explain why mirrors are used in telescopes as opposed to lenses, and I can partay like it's 1871! =D =D =D
Pants are for the weak!

Only if you help me finish my homework.
(i) Explain what is meant by the dispersion of an optical glass. Hence discuss briefly the occurrence of chromatic aberration in a lens.
(ii) Give an account of the five primary monochromatic aberrations (Seidel aberrations) of simple lenses and spherical mirrors. Support your answer with suitable diagrams that help explain the nature of each of these aberrations.
---this bit here---(iii) In the light of your answers to (i) and (ii), and any other factors you consider relevant, explain why large astronomical telescopes use reflecting optics (i.e. mirrors) rather than refracting optics (i.e. lenses).
Well? Chop chop!

*sigh* Too slow. I've blazed out eight reasons for reflecting telescopes as bullet points. I shall now spend the next four hours slowly making them into one big paragraph, then to uni at 7am to print in the library and draw my annotated diagrams.
Then for two hours of lectures, and then to the ice rink to learn to skate for the next three hours, then back for my 4:15 properties of matter lecture, and then home for food, booze, and maths questions.
Let's see any other lazy sod do all that in one day! :smug:
But yes, so you know, here are my points.
I think two may overlap, but eh it'll do.
*******************
A short focal ratio can be more easily obtained, leading to a wider field of view.
Exotic glasses are not needed, as no light passes through the
objective.
The objective has only one surface that needs to be figured, so fabrication is far simpler.
Reflective telescopes are less expensive for any given aperture than reflecting telescopes of similar quality.
There are no lenses to cause chromatic aberrations.
The focusing lens is a parabola, and as such spherical aberration is not a problem.
The use of a perpendicular eyepiece combined with short f-ratios allows for a shorter, more compact mounting system- making it
cheaper and increasing portability.
Comatic aberration is only a problem in systems with a focal ratio of f/4 or less. So for large astronomical telescopes, the effect of comatic aberration is truly negligible.
******************
I still need to say something about astigmatism aberrations though, but not sure what. They're essentially comatic aberrations in two planes.....
Also, I need to say that refractive telescopes suffer from the opposite of all the above

I figured
And since it is now done, I get the next 3 hours to play around! =D
I would go downstairs and hang with that gal I'm down with now, but she's probably asleep.
Crazy, you'd think it's late or something! 8D
Still no word from Xybertoys. I'm hoping to come back from university on wednesday to find Henkei Ironhide sat on my desk, but we'll have to see.
Which reminds me, I must also call citylink tomorrow to sort out resending my metal muff...
Scunthorpe is just too far for a poor student like me to go

I must admit I've a bit of a duality about Blitzwing (no pun). One of my childhood favourites but something about the Animated version is putting me off. Just doesn't justify the price in my view (no pun 
).

It was in Tesco but not half price . I wouldn't buy it anyway 'cos times is tough and I don't need my Animated cherry busted right now.
