Why should I purchase a refractor telescope?

Purchasing a Refractor Telescope

If you purchase a refractor telescope you'll be able to see higher emissions of light, such as planets or stars with more detail and higher contrast than a reflecting telescope. A refractor telescope can also be used for normal daytime observations, too, especially if you use an "image rectifier" that turns the image right-side-up for the viewer.
