Reflector Telescope Capture a lot of Charming Celestial Sights: Independant Review and Guide for Buyer. by Lionelbarus
If you often wondered which reflector telescope to buy, we are discussing the major features you need to consider to assist you to take your decision.
Reflector telescopes use a mirror to collect and focus light emanating from celestial objects for instance those from our own solar system. Since these objects or 'stars' are extremely far away from you, the light rays reaching the earth and your telescope are parallel. These fall on the mirror inside your telescope which has a 'parabolic' profile and this helps in reflecting the rays to a single point. Hence they have the name 'reflector telescope'.  In addition, as opposed to Skywatcher refractor telescopes, they do not suffer from chromatic aberration (distortion in color) since all wavelengths get reflected from your mirror equally. Apart from this, reflector telescopes have the advantage of  being made in large size, they are cheaper than refractor telescopes of same size and since light is reflected rather than passing through, only one side need to be optically perfect. Regrettably, they also have some negatives. The optics may get misaligned and  they need frequent cleaning. Also, where secondary mirrors, either curved (convex) or plain, are used they may produce glare induced by bright stars.
Â
Before you decide which telescope to buy, remember that larger the size of the light gathering source called the aperture, better is the object resolution or finer details are now visible. In other words any 304mm (12 inch) is better than a 155mm (6 inch) telescope! Usually a reflector telescope with 114 mm (4.5 inch) is sufficient to observe the moon, planets in our solar system, sun with special filters to protect your eyes and some stars in the nearer galaxies. Most popular models are 60mm (2.4 inch), 80mm (3.1 inch), 114mm (4.5 inch) or 155mm (6 inch). Note also that larger aperture will also mean heavier telescope minimizing its transportability.
Â
Perhaps you have noticed advertisements for reflector telescopes offering 'power' as 300X or so. Well, more power does not mean better viewing, since the power refers to the magnification and may give larger, but very faint image. Also, the small eye-piece may not allow you to see the entire of the image due to size restriction. As a result do not get carried away by these terms. What is essential is to get the best aperture and eye-piece combination for the best viewing pleasure.
Â
There is yet another term some manufacturers use to push their product. This is the focal ratio or the ratio of aperture size to focal length. For example a telescope with 114mm (4.5 inch) aperture and 1143mm (45 inch) focal length has focal ratio of f10. Higher focal ratio does not usually mean higher image top quality. Also larger ratio with same aperture would mean a longer telescope.
Â
Mount is crucial for steady viewing. There are two types of mounts available; altazimuth or equatorial. Altazimuth is like a photographic camera tripod allowing movement up and down (altitude) and back and forth (azimuth). Equatorial mounts, at times with drive motor, are best for following an object in its revolution and travel. The last item to watch out for is the eye piece. Some models offer numerous eye pieces (2 or more) so that your friends can also watch at the same time. Power of the eye piece is expressed in mm and most common is 25 mm; lower its number, greater is the magnification.
