A flip mirror is an optical device commonly used in telescopes and some cameras. Its primary function is to redirect light from a telescope's optical path to a different location, typically for the purpose of viewing or capturing images through a camera or an eyepiece. ### How It Works: - **Optical Path Redirection**: The flip mirror contains a mirror that can be flipped between two positions. In one position, light travels through the normal optical path to the eyepiece for visual observation.
