  Finderscope more info

This feature assists in locating objects. The right finderscope for you depends on your intended use, as a red-dot finderscope helps to locate things that are visible with the naked eye and an optical finderscope locates things that are not.

  Optical Design more info

Optical designs range in both quality and price. Refracting and Newtonian telescopes are both good for visual observing and stargazing, but refracting ones are easier to use and Newtonians are typically less expensive. Catadioptric telescopes are the best design for terrestrial viewing.

  Mount Type more info

Mount types range in complexity and the best one for you is based on your intended use. These types range from the altazimuth, which is the simplest design recommended for casual use and terrestrial viewing, to the equatorial design, which is more complex and designed for astronomical viewing.
