:Need to distinguish better between [[refracting telescope]] and [[reflecting telescope]]. The latter gets most of its magnification from a parabolic mirror in its base, while a mirror at the parabola's focus sends the reflected light off to any eyepiece on the side. The former consists simply of two lenses. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:40, 2 January 2010 (EST)
