''reflectors feature large-aperture “light buckets” or tubes that funnel light down the shaft towards a mirror, which then reflects the light into an eyepiece consisting of several different types of lenses. Reflector telescopes need lots of space and little background light, so they make ideal scopes for using in rural environments.''

Uses both lenses and mirrors to increase the focal range and power. This telescope keeps weith, length, and bulkiness to a minimum.

One of the most popular telescopes. It bends the light through its lens.
