what is the best telescope? refractor or reflector?
is the principle of reflecting is better or the reflacting?
is the principle of reflecting is better or the reflacting?
In my experience there is no huge difference. Perhaps aiming refractor is more intuitive (at least when compared to Newton system).If you're just starting out, I highly recommend a refractor, it's much easier to use.
No huge difference, perhaps, but I have a 6" Astro-Physics Apo refractor and a 90mm Vernonscope Apo refractor (as a finder/guidescope). I have a very massive AP mount with no setting circles or any other type of aiming aid but by sighting along the tube, and star-hopping with a decent set of charts, I have no trouble finding even very faint objects. You can learn to use Newtonians this way, too, but it's tougher to eyeball and star-hop with short-tube cats. Tube flexure is not a real problem with refractors of modest aperture like mine, nor does the weight of the glass cause problems in a well-designed objective cell.In my experience there is no huge difference. Perhaps aiming refractor is more intuitive (at least when compared to Newton system).
i know thisJust remember the one rule of telescope shopping:
Magnification is nothing. Aperature is everything.
Do NOT get fooled by claims of large magnifications. What you want is the biggest aperature your money can buy.
So you are asking what telescope you should buy? We need more information:thank you all for your infos
but im not asking about the money........
...asking about what is difference between the principle
of refractor/ reflector telescopes
and what to recomend
Ok, now we're getting somewhere. So your skill level is complete novice. Now how 'bout that budget?i know this
i gotta ask you about magnification:
a telescope magnification is 36x-675x
what is the measure of magnification?? meters?
and what's the meaning of "Brightness" in telescopes?
