I would like to view the horsehead nebula, along with lots of other things, but I am not sure what size telescope to get, I don’t want to spend a fortune though. Would a 4inch reflector do it or would I be better off with a refractor?

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?

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!
