![]() Is there such thing as black light? Well. When you look at the eyepice of an SCT. You can notice the central obstruction at the center field reducing the contrast in the image. I'm not talking about the exit pupil with black hole at the center but the central obstruction directly affecting the eyepiece just like flares from baffleless tube. These are called off-axis light. The flares from the tubes are off axis-light. Now the central obstruction produces also an off-axis effect directly inpinging on the eyepice. Now. What kind of rays from the central obstruction hits your eyepiece? It's colored black, how can it affect your view? Are their black lights? I know about image formation so you don't have to repeat it. I know the image you are getting from the eyepiece comes from on-axis parallel lights from the objective lens and exiting in the eyepiece as parallel rays which upon touching your cornea converges into a point in your retina. Hence. The central obstruction is not supposed to cast a shadow at the center field of the eyepiece. I'm talking of any focal length eyepiece and any magnification. Can anyone explain this? I mean when you look at the image, does the image depend on having a clear aperture at the front. What I mean to say is, why does the central obstruction degrade the view from the on-axis parallel rays when the output from the eyepiece is just a result of what comes before the objective lens and not the central obstruction. Again don't mention about exit pupil with the hole in center because this is not what i mean. I'm talking about the off-axis intrusion of the central obstruction. It's black and doesn't produce lights versus the flares. But it can still affect your view. Why? Does anyone understand what I'm describing?? If not. Let me know and I'll explain further. Wat |
