Schmidt Cassegrain spider obscuration telescope (SCT) is one of the types of observations operating with a concave mirror. It combines several lenses and mirrors working together as an optical system. The light rays fall into the tube from the main mirror and gather on another smaller mirror called a secondary mirror. Unlike the formation of Newton's telescope, no light is made from the secondary mirror out the side of the tube but is directed to the middle of the main mirror. There is an opening in the middle of the main mirror so the light beam can go out and direct the vision lens system. The secondary mirror is located in the middle of a glass slice and is installed by thin carriers. The function of this board is to correct the portr

Our work introduces the notion of  -open set. This class of - open sets is not directly comparable to the categories of soft open, -closed. We demonstrate that the category of  -open sets lies strictly between the class of -open sets and -open sets. Additionally, we investigate the connections that exist between -open sets along with other kinds of soft sets. Moreover, we provide several criteria that are sufficient for determining the equivalence between -open sets and every one of -open sets and -open sets. Also, according to our findings, the family of -open sets is a supra soft topology. Furthermore, we make it clear the correlation that exists between the respective categories of  -open sets in a soft topological space and in its
