Telescopes
Abstract
The efficiency of a telescope for measuring or detecting a faint object or the lines of its spectrum is investi- gated as a function of aperture, exposure time, and the parameters of the auxiliary instrumentation. Future possibilities for telescope construction and instrumentation are discussed in the light of this analysis.
