Summary
Description Comparison optical telescope primary mirrors.svg |
[ edit subpage]
English:
Comparison of nominal sizes of primary mirrors of notable
optical
reflecting telescopes
, and a few other objects. Dotted lines show sizes of round mirrors that would have had equivalent light-gathering ability.
The telescopes shown on this comparison chart are listed below, ordered in each sub-section by (effective) mirror/lens area, low to high, and then by actual/planned first light date, old to new. The "present-day" status is given as of the beginning of 2024. See also List of largest optical reflecting telescopes . Largest refractors (for comparison):
