“Although they require a little more maintenance than a refracting telescope, the reflective telescopes are ideal for observing the Moon, planets and deep sky objects.” Newtonian reflectors, the choice of versatility Reflecting telescopes, also known as Newtonian reflectors, are good telescopes for amateur astronomers because they offer a good aperture/price ratio. They are versatile and…

“Stargazing at a higher magnification than the average can be difficult with a Dobson.” The Dobsonian telescope, a cheaper way to practice astronomy The Dobsonian telescope is a reflecting telescope mounted on an azimuthal or altazimutal mount. It is the mount that differentiates it from other types of Newtonian reflectors. Dobsonian telescopes are very popular…

“The Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope is synonymous with versatility and accessibility.” For a long time, beginners as well as experienced astronomers have chosen Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. This is mainly because they tend to have a larger aperture and they are often provided with a sophisticated “GoTo” system that allows the observer to easily find and track thousands of…
