There are also terrible cheap fast refractors that show rainbow coloured mush images .
Scopes using sub-aperture corrector's needs a longer explanation , try this :

Hi Bobby,
Thanks for your response including the link to the article on sub-aperture correctors
I am just making a comeback to astronomy and needless to say I was way out of my depth in reading that article!
No worries though - I can always refer to it in the future if I really get into the nitty gritty of telescope optics.
Best wishes,
John
