I have noticed on my journey thru IIS, that many of you own all sorts of wonderful telescopes and devices ( side note: I am so jealous ). I would like to ask.
Do you use the different types of telescopes ( dobs, reflectors, refractors, new-cass) to view different objects ?? Is one better for planets, a different type for nebulas, comets , deep space etc.

Thank you for reading

Different types of telescopes do have some traits that make them more appropriate (in my opinion) for some objects than other types...Having said that, a telescope that you will use often will in my estimation often overcome whatever differences there might be between them.
