What is the Best Telescope to Buy?
There are several characteristics you’ll want to pay attention to when buying a telescope, including:
Focal Length
- This helps determine a telescope’s focal ratio and field of view which impact how far you will be able to see.
Aperture
- The aperture determines the quality and amount of light your telescope or optical tube assembly (OTA) will capture.
Telescope style
- Reflecting telescopes are reliable and versatile with their use of mirrors to capture light.
- Refracting telescopes use lenses and come in popular styles such as achromatic and apochromatic.
- Catadioptric telescopes combine lenses and mirrors into one cohesive optical tube assembly.
These factors make each telescope unique, providing a different viewing experience.
