Great refractor refers to a large telescope with a lens, usually the largest refractor at an observatory with an equatorial mount. The preeminence and success of this style in observational astronomy defines an era in modern telescopy in the 19th and early 20th century. Great refractors were large refracting telescopes using achromatic lenses (as opposed to the mirrors of reflecting telescopes). They were often the largest in the world, or largest in a region. Despite typical designs having smaller apertures than reflectors, great refractors offered a number of advantages and were popular for astronomy. It was also popular to exhibit large refractors at international exhibits, and examples of this include the Trophy Telescope at the 1851 Great Exhibition, and the Yerkes Great Refractor at

  • El terme gran refractor fa referència a un telescopi de grans dimensions dotat amb una lent de diàmetre considerable i muntura equatorial, normalment el més gran instrument refractor d'un observatori determinat. La preeminència i l'èxit d'aquest tipus d'astronomia observacional va abastar el segle xix i el començament del segle xx. Els grans refractors eren telescopis dotats amb lents acromàtiques, i representaven una clara alternativa a la tecnologia de miralls. (ca)
  • Als Großen Refraktor bezeichnen mehrere Sternwarten ihr jeweils größtes Linsenfernrohr. Diese vor der Jahrhundertwende entwickelten, rund 10–20 Meter langen und tonnenschweren Instrumente wurden im Volksmund auch Riesenteleskope genannt. Die Entwicklung endete aus Gewichtsgründen 1897 beim 102-cm-Objektiv der Yerkes-Sternwarte, dessen Linsendublett 230 kg Gesamtmasse aufweist und sich unter der Gewichtskraft bereits merklich durchbiegt. Danach begann die Ära der großen Spiegelteleskope. Die Großen Refraktoren sind – gereiht nach ihrem Entstehungsjahr: (de)
