WHICH REFLECTOR IS RIGHT FOR ME?

DOBSONIAN

Easy to set up

Alt-azimuth mount makes for easy use

Ideal for observing deepsky objects such as galaxies and nebulae

Not so good for astrophotography

NEWTONIAN

Better optical performance for the price

Optically free of any false colour

Good for astrophotography Higher maintenance in comparison to the refractor, especially with realignment of mirrors and resurfacing of tarnished optical coatings The spider impacts lightgathering ability and therefore impacts the image resolution
