They have also learnt about the problems that generally occur in telescopes like chromatic and spherical aberration and how to redeem these problems. They were also told about the types (alt-azimuth mount and equatorial mount) and working of different telescope mount. They have learnt the set-up of telescopes. In this they have covered the topics like focusing, collimation, alignment of finder-scope and eye-piece etc. Students have also learnt some very interesting facts about the large telescope observatory present in World, India and Space also.
