Two of the most popular catadioptric (or Cassegrain) telescopes are the Schmidt-Cassegrain and Maksutov-Cassegrain. This ensures that you get the clearest image possible at maximum distances. Catadioptric telescopesĬatadioptric telescopes are generally the most expensive ones on the market due to their combination of both mirrors and lenses. But it must be noted that they are generally not recommended for terrestrial use. Due to their large apertures, these are a great option for you to view faint, deep objects in the sky.
Instead of using lenses, these telescopes use mirrors to show you crystal clear images through the eyepiece that is located at the top of the tube. Reflecting telescopes like the Meade Infinity are the opposite of refracting telescopes - as the name suggests. These are probably the simplest to use due to their minimalist design and are often the cheapest option due to the lack of any groundbreaking features. It must be noted that one of the biggest issues with refractor telescopes is the fact that they do not offer true images - they show mirrored images - these can be corrected using an erecting prism. Instead of using mirrors, they use optical lenses and the eyepiece is typically located at the bottom of the telescope, much like looking through a camera. Refracting or refractor telescopes such as the Meade Stargazer are probably the most common type on the market.
Meade also offer upgrade accessories like eyepieces, filters, PC cables and more.īefore buying your Meade telescope it is important that you know everything about the three main types: refracting, reflecting and catadioptric telescopes. Their superior lenses and magnification offer extremely clear views from huge distances, making them the perfect accompaniment for astronomy fans. Meade create some of the best telescopes for stargazing in the world.
