March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #67: Disadvantages of a Reflector Telescope
Tip of the Week
For some astronomy enthusiasts, the reflector telescope is a perfect combination of a space photography tool and a planetary observational device. However, the reflector telescope is not without drawbacks. The disadvantages of a reflector telescope include:
1. These telescopes do require a delicate hand and must be moved from place to place with great care.
2. Although the body is compact, the reflector telescope, especially the mid-sized and larger models, tends to be bulkier than the refractor telescopes.
3. Some of the reflector telescopes produce a distorted image.
4. Collimation is often a necessary task with a reflector telescope to maintain a centered view.
