From the amazing book, All About Telescopes!
Today's interesting fun fact tidbit:
The Cassegrain Reflector was made by Guillaume Cassegrain in 1672.
This is on page 2 of the AAT book, with nice hand-drawn graphic of course, along with some different types of telescopes, including the one that started it all, the Galilean refractor in 1608.
I have the honour of using a Cassegrain Reflector, the somewhat large one at the David Dunlap Observatory.
