A Reticule Design to Enhance the Detection Range of a Telescope for Moving Objects

Abstract

In this work a stationary opto-mechanical reticule is designed to be utilized with a terrestrial telescope to improve its
detection range for moving objects. The design calculations based on the psycho-physical characteristics of the human
eye. The results obtained show that the optimum ocu-reticule co-performances may be obtained for the case where the
object angular velocity fluctuates between (10 2 rad/s) and (5*10 2 rad/s), or may be extended with certain limits , to a
decade more or less than the pronounced value .
