Stargazing

Stargazing is sort of hypnotic, even when done with just the naked eye. Of course, things really start to get interesting when you magnify that view. Whether it’s a pair of binoculars or an advanced telescope, how you stargaze is up to you.

Refracting vs. Reflecting Telescopes
There are two kinds of optical telescopes, refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes. Galileo first observed Jupiter’s moons with a refracting telescope, and its simple rugged design persists to modern day.

However, if you want a large aperture, you will most likely save money with a reflecting telescope.

A great hobby for everyone !
