The refracting telescope, also known as a Apochromatic refractor, is comprised of multiple concave lenses which allow the incoming light to be refracted, resulting in images that are brighter and larger.  These qualities give the appearance that the actual images appear much larger than viewing with the naked eye.   These refractors gather the incoming light and bend it, allowing you to view objects from a distance.  This magnification is what provides you with the ability to clearly view the stars and night sky. Even though apochromatic telescope appear to be complex in design, the fact is that they are essentially a series of concave lenses that refract the light.

Autumn is pretty much my favourite season. I think it reminds me a lot of the first term at University which was generally always the least stressful. After a disappointing summer where I failed to observe any bright Noctilucent Cloud displays it has been great the last few weeks to see the nights drawing in and the stars peeking out ever earlier. The leaves turning, scarves coming out and crisp mornings all make this pretty much my favourite season. In the sky we'll see the return of Andromeda and soon the first appearance of Orion in the evening sky. This is the time of the year when you remember how much you love astronomy and being out there under the skies.
