Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find

yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

ほか、真田氏の近世大名化の過程を検討した河内八郎や山岡信一、吾妻郡攻略に関する唐沢定市、系譜考証の寺島隆史、武田氏研究の立場から研究史の整理や領国形成過程に関して検討を行っている堀内亨や柴辻俊六ら多くの研究者がいる。現在のところ、中世海野氏が六連銭を用いた史料は確認されていないが、日本家紋研究会は『関東幕注文』に羽尾、大戸など海野一族が「六れんてん」を用いていること、江戸旗本海野家が六連銭を本紋としていること、現在の海野姓で地域を問わず広く六連銭が用いられていることから類推して、「六連銭は真田氏独占の家紋ではなく、信濃国の大族滋野氏から出た海野氏の代表家紋の一つであろう」としている。
