Advantages of a Refractor Telescope

The refractor telescope has a straightforward design of an objective lens on one end of a tube and an eyepiece at the other. These are some of the pluses of owning a refracting telescope:

1. You'll get a low maintenance, straightforward telescope with a refractor.
2. The refractor telescope gives you high contract, sharp images.
3. The tight air seal of a refractor telescope keeps air currents from affecting your view.
4. Whether you're interested in long distance terrestrial viewing or looking at the planets and stars, the refractor telescope is ideal.
