	Tasco Galaxsee 375 Reflector Astronomical Telescope The BestStuff Choice
		Made by Tasco this is an exceptional reflector telescope.
		With a powerful telescope like this that is not too easy, the field of view, magnified as it is, is really quite small.
		If you want to use the telescope for looking at things during the day too you really need a different telescope, this telescope would not be suitable for this, a Refractor telescope would be better for this.

	Telescopes
		The telescope is the vertical piece in the middle with the mirror close to the floor.
		Many reflector telescope use another light path design called the cassegrain design to reflect the light back through a hole in the primary mirror, so that detectors or the eyepiece can be conveniently placed behind the telescope.
		The images in reflector telescopes do not have holes or shadows in them because the light rays from the unblocked parts of the primary mirror are all added together when they are focussed together.

	How to Use a Dobsonian Reflector Telescope \| eHow.com
		It moves the telescope on an XY axis, which is to say, up and down and left to right.
		Use the telescope when light pollution is at a minimum, because this kind of telescope is a "light bucket."
		This telescope is inexpensive, because it uses mirrors instead of lenses (see the eHow on refracting telescopes) to gather light.

		Reflectors (also known as Newtonian reflectors or catoptrics) capture light with a mirror at the bottom of a tube, which sends the image to the eyepiece at the top of the tube.
		First-time telescope users sometimes have difficulty with the idea of looking through the side of a telescope, but the big draw for reflectors is that they are by far the cheapest to manufacture--and thus offer the best value--of all telescope types.
		A telescope on an equatorial mount can be aimed at a celestial object and guided with the slow motion controls to follow the object across the sky and keep it in the field of view of your telescope.

		Refractor Telescope: A refractor telescope collects light though a large objective lens and directs it through the telescope to the eyepiece for magnification.
		Reflector Telescope: Reflectors use a large concave mirror to collect and focus light back to a diagonal mirror which redirects the light to the eyepiece for magnification.
		Reflectors deliver the most magnification in a compact design because they achieve a longer focal length through the use of mirrors.

	UK Telescopes
		Our aim is to provide you with the right telescope at the right price, whilst offering a good range of accessories and combination packages at competitive rates.
		We believe our telescopes represent high levels of manufacturing specification from well established sources and all incorporate features we believe will, used with ‘best practice’, genuinely enhance your viewing experience; this means, for example, no promises of startlingly high magnification that in reality cannot easily sustain a reasonable image.
		In addition to the astronomical telescope we offer a comprehensive selection of accessories: mounts, eyepieces and filters, binoculars, cameras, star charts, red light torches and many other items too numerous to mention here.

		In 1963, using the 200-inch Hale reflector, Schmidt realized that the unfamiliarity of the spectra was the result of an enormous red shift and that the lines were familiar ones that ought to be in the ultraviolet section of the spectrum.
		While new technologies have led to the construction of larger telescopes based upon techniques not known in 1948, the Hale reflector remains in the forefront of research in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics and is the largest successful reflecting telescope in the world today.

		Reflector telescopes produce good images and are favored by astronomers who need the largest possible telescope to find distant, faint objects beyond our solar system (deep-sky objects).
		Refractor telescope is an optical system that utilizes a series of glass lenses to refract or bend the light from a distant object such that it can be focused to a point and magnified by an eyepiece.
		The magnification of a telescope is determined by dividing its focal length by the focal length of the eyepiece being used.

	Howstuffworks "How Telescopes Work"
		Reflectors have large light gathering capacities, and can produce bright images of faint, deep-sky objects for visual observing as well as astrophotography.
		One disadvantage of reflectors is that you occasionally have to clean and align the mirrors.
		In addition, all reflectors are subject to some light loss, for two reasons: First, the secondary mirror obstructs some of the light coming into the telescope; second, no reflective coating for a mirror returns 100 percent of the light striking it -- the best coatings return 90 percent of incoming light.

		In 1862, authorities in Victoria, Australia decided to build a large telescope to study the Southern nebulae — cloudy patches in the sky whose nature was still unknown.
		A committee of telescope-makers and astronomers, including Lord Rosse, was formed to decide on the design of this telescope, whose view of the southern sky would help complete the picture of the heavens.
		The members assumed that the silver layer of a glass mirror would tarnish faster than a metal mirror, that the silver might disintegrate or be damaged by the weather, and that such a large, heavy, glass mirror would be difficult to manipulate.

		Due to unimaginable size of the universe, telescope is still the only instrument astronomers can rely on to study distance planets, stars, galaxies and nebulas.
		Telescopes are just like eyes: They collect light (either given off or reflection) from objects.
		A refractor telescope consists of an object glass placed at front end of a telescope tube and collects light from the object to be observed.

		The mirrors/optics are fine for a telescope of that size and class.
		Most often the advertised magnification for a telescope is on the liberal side of the equation.
		Regardless of what telescope you go with, you need to set your telescope and equipment up early enough to allow it plenty time to equalize to the outdoor temperature.

	Newtonian and Dobsonian reflector telescopes, information from David Hinds Ltd
		Newtonians (also known as catoptrics) usually use a concave parabolic primary mirror to collect and focus incoming light onto a flat secondary (digital) mirror that in turn reflects the image out of an opening at the side of the main tube and into the eyepiece.
		In summary a small reflector is the best general purpose telescope for beginners as they are good on all types of objects and for starting astrophotography.
		If you wish for the ultimate planetary telescope, and also a scope which is virtually maintenance free then look no further than a refractor.
