Resolution Telescope
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
What resolution telescope would I require to see the International Space Station?
I can calculate the resolution of the telescope however how can I calculate the required resolution to view the ISS?
The ISS is about 100 meters across, and orbits above the Earth at a distance of about 350 kilometers. Therefore, the angular size is of the order of
arctan ( 0.1/350 ) = 0.01637 degrees, or about 1 arc minute.

Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Telescope $1249.99 Orion Dobsonians have always been known for superb optical and mechanical quality, wonderful ease of use, and remarkably affordable prices. One other thing they – and almost all other Dobs on the market – have had in common: you pushed the telescope to your observing target by hand. Until now. Orion is pleased to herald another giant leap in Dobsonian evolution with the introduction of the SkyQuest XTg series of fully motor driven GoTo Dobsonians. Now, pointing a Dob to even the most elusive of NGC curiosities is as easy as pushing a button or two on the XTg Dobsonians’ illuminated hand controller. High-torque servo motors guided by two pairs of high-resolution encoders then slew the telescope right to your object of interest – any of over 42,000 objects in the GoTo controller’s database. No more nudging the telescope tube continuously to keep the object from drifting out of the field of view, either. The XTg automatically tracks the object’s motion, keeping it centered in the eyepiece while you savor the view. What’s more, the closed-loop electronics of the XTg let you move the telescope manually – or endure the accidental bump – without losing orientation for accurate, automated GoTo pointing! |
