@user-ky9ei9no1x: The "Cat" will have a longer focal-length which will produce more magnification for a given eye-piece but it will usually be physically shorter than a reflector so its more portable and easier to move around. Reflectors require more maintenance (cleaning mirror and collimation) but catadioptric types are usually maintenance-free.
@@paganphil100 I wanna correct you on the maintanence of the reflector telescopoe .I'm an owner of an 8'' dobsonian reflector , and the cleaning of the mirror do exist but in most cases it is an very rare thing you need to do. depending on where you live , like big cities , near main streets , where is a lot of dust in the air from the traffic and so on , also the dust masses of the atmosphere itself are higher in different parts of the worlds ( , mexico , south america and north africa have the most dust in the air ) , and how often you you actually use the telescope and most importantly , how well you keep it stored and where , You may need to wash the mirrors maybe every few months ( if you live in a big city near main roads , with a lot of dust in the air and very often use) , or maybe you will need to clean it a every few years . Yes , the colimation is a bit of a thing at beggining , which most people are scared gut it's actualy pretty simple and easy to do . Also I wanna note that todays price for 8'' dobsonian are around 600$ more exactly. They are the best if you can afford the inconvenience of theire seize.
Before I bought my Celestron SLT 130 telescope, I also was torn between Celestron, Meade, Vixen and Orion but in the end I chose Celestron. Meade is a very good brand but I prefer Celestron. Maybe I will be trying Meade next time when I buy my next Telescope
Hi im an absolute beginner will the celestron 4 se be more then enough to start out ? because if i really want to go bigger if im gonne buy what i really want i would end up in the evolution series 6 se wich is about a 1000 euro more exspensive
If you can go for evolution 6" that's awesome but if not then Instead of 4-SE a better option would be "Celestron 130 SLT" it has a bigger aperture and slightly less priced than 4 -SE. Check out this video. ua-cam.com/video/GobA3XWW0UY/v-deo.html
an 8" refractor would cost well over 5k.. above 6" they get insanely expensive. a 6" achro is maybe about $800 for the optical tube, while a 6" APO doublet or triplet will be about 4k to 12k depending on if its mass produced or premium.. above 6" is whole new ball game.. idk of any larger achros but a 7" or 8" APO will run you around 15-20k for a 7 and 30k-50k for an 8"... not including a mount big enough to carry it, rings, mounting plate, diagonal etc...

This channel is underrated.
This video was super informative. Thank you!
Great video and many, many thanks.
Woah, this is indeed alien tech
Ohhh, CIA 😦
I ❤️the way u explained 🔭🔭
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Hi I’m trying to look for a telescope primarily to locate the new moon when born. Any advice
So between 8 inch reflector and 8 inch Catadioptric the only advantage is that the catadioptric is lighter in weight ?
Yes, along with being relatively shorter and compact.

thanks a lot
Good info, thanks.
Thank you for such an awesome video ❤️
thank you very much!!!
well spoken
please make a video of a radio telescope
Do you have a favorite brand?
I'm currently torn between Celestron or Meade, however I've also seen some dope Orion telescopes.
Care to give any tips?
What exactly are you looking for?

Do you think the Celestron Nexstar 127SLT or 130SLT is better for viewing DSOs and planets?
Dsos absolutely NOT , way too small for dso viewing , its possible but under super great condition or using filters , for planets yes they are good

Excellent ❤
I've read the refractor telescopes are better for looking at things like nebula. Stuff with less apparent brightness.
Aren't they called cassegrain?
@drchen054: Cassegrain or catadioptric......both names are used.
an 8" refractor would cost well over 5k.. above 6" they get insanely expensive. a 6" achro is maybe about $800 for the optical tube, while a 6" APO doublet or triplet will be about 4k to 12k depending on if its mass produced or premium.. above 6" is whole new ball game.. idk of any larger achros but a 7" or 8" APO will run you around 15-20k for a 7 and 30k-50k for an 8"... not including a mount big enough to carry it, rings, mounting plate, diagonal etc...

Size is the only negative of Dobsonians, otherwise they are awesome n cheaper as well..
u can get some for cheaper second hand, but the issue is the other equipment you need to go with it
💯
👍
Catadioptrie
Madman review?
man i got a EdgeHD 14 and holy crap not light
catadioptric is worse f/.... like 12 or 14... sh%t
