Now, before you buy one please consider the following:

1.- There are two basic types of telescopes: Galilean (refractor) and Newtonian (refelctor)

3.- Rflectors are especialized in diffuse objects such as nebulas and galaxies.

(however it is possible to observe any kind of celestial objects with both types of telescopes)
