Editing What Telescope (section)

====== Newtonian Reflectors: ======
----Pros: Fast focal ratio, most are F/4 or F/5 which allows the collection of a lot of light in a short amount of time. Cheap compared to refractors. Can be had in a nice array of apertures and focal lengths.

Cons: Size. For 8" or above you will probably need an Orion Atlas mount or better. They are not very portable at all. They also need collimation every imaging session, the faster the f/ratio the more difficult a precise collimation is. They also can suffer from changes in air temperature, where a warmer pocket of air can sit on top of your primary mirror causing blurriness. Its recommended to let your telescope acclimate to outside temperatures before you begin imaging. Adding a fan on the back of your primary mirror, or just manually circulating air inside the scope can help with this.

'''Best suited for: Planetary or Deep sky imaging depending on mount and aperture.'''
