I’m looking for a telescope where portability matters alot, and I want the clearest astro photograph where all the stars appear very sharp like points, and I would like to find some giant exoplanets. Which telescope is best for astrophotograph and for the money? Cassegrain, Reflector or Refractor?

Philip B asked:


With the need for a flat field of view (i.e. coma free), which type of telescope would you choose between an apochromatic refractor (e.g. Meade 5000 or Skywatcher Equinox) or a Maksutov Cassegrain (E.g Skywatcher Skymax Pro)

The refractor might be better because of the clear aperture, the reflector though has the larger aperture.

Carl Carlson asked:


Hi. I’m looking to buy a new telescope. I have alot of money to use so anything up to $1000 will be good. I was just wondering what type of brand I should get and if I should get a reflector or a refractor. I’m looking for one that looks at things outside the solar system (nebula, galxies, etc). So anything that’s like that. Thanks!
