Monday, March 29th, 2010The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope. This telescope uses lenses to gather light to a focal point at the eye piece. The use of lenses helps the telescope have a superior image. A refractor telescope is not as portable as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture. The second type of telescope is the Reflector. Made by Sir Isaac Newton, this telescope functions by focusing the light back at the front of the tube, which is where the eyepiece sits, by using parabolic mirrors and another smaller mirror to deflect the light. There is no added color in the image caused by refraction of light since this telescope does not use lenses.
