What are the types of optical design aberrations?

Aberrations are defects in images produced by a telescope (or optical system). They are caused by limitations in the design and manufacture of the optics. In theory, a perfect scope...

Other Polar alignment tips.

You can use your finderscope (finder) to accurately polar-align your equatorial mount. This is more accurate than a rough alignment using the mechanical scales on your mount or roughly pointing...
