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.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few
of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its
a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and
both show the same results.

I believe everything posted was actually very reasonable.
However, think about this, suppose you wrote a catchier title?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title
that grabbed a person's attention? I mean Advice for stirring

Zanzibar is kinda vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they write news headlines to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you've
got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little
livelier.
