Telescope Views Artwork
|
Realistic paintings of celestial objects as seen with the eye through various low-power optical instruments: binoculars, a 4-, or 8-inch telescope. To enhance the "view through the eyepiece" effect, images are provided as circles; additionally, some planet views are depicted with typical chromatic aberration.
