Astronomy Terminology

Declination (DEC.)

Astronomical equivalent of latitude, measuring celestial position north/south of the equator.

Right Ascension (R.A.)

Astronomical equivalent of longitude, measuring celestial position east of the vernal equinox.

Celestial Equator

The line of declination directly above Earth's equator, serving as the 0° declination point.

Ecliptic

The apparent path of the sun through the sky over the year.

Zenith

The point in the celestial sphere directly above one's head.

Ephemeris

A table listing celestial object coordinates at regular intervals.

Altitude

The angular distance of an object above the horizon.

Azimuth

The angular distance around the horizon measured eastward from North.

Angular Distance

The angle through which equipment must be turned to aim at another object.

Telescope Terminology

Objective

The front lens of a telescope, determining light gathering ability.

Focal Length

The distance from the objective to the focal point, affecting magnification.

Magnification

The increase in apparent size of an object, determined by eyepiece and telescope focal lengths.

Focal Ratio

The relationship between focal length and aperture, affecting field of view and brightness.

Limiting Magnitude

The faintest object visible, indicating telescope's light-gathering sensitivity.

Resolving Power

The ability to distinguish closely spaced objects, measured in seconds of arc.

Aberration

Degradations in image quality due to optical design or alignment issues.

Collimation

Alignment of optical components to prevent image distortion.
