Telescopes

• Refractor Telescopes - collects light through a large objective lens and directs it through the telescope to the eyepiece for magnification. Invented by the famous astronomer Galileo, refractor telescopes are noted for bright, high-quality images with excellent resolution.
• Reflector Telescopes - use a large concave mirror to collect and focus light back to a diagonal mirror that redirects the light to the eyepiece for magnification. Reflectors deliver the most magnification in a compact design because they achieve a longer focal length through the use of mirrors.

Altazimuth Mount: This a simple, sturdy mount that can be adjusted up and down or from side to side to aim and hold the telescope on a distant object.
