Refractor telescopes are perfect for entry-level amateur astronomers as they are at an affordable price whilst offering quality optics that allow you to observe the planets and the Moon. There are several advantages of using refractors over other telescopes. Dust and moisture are unable to get into the tube, as it is enclosed and they have no central obstruction that reduces the light entering the tube. On top of this, refractors deliver higher quality images of planets than other telescopes of similar aperture and are compact and lightweight enough to take with you wherever you go.
Another benefit of refractor telescopes is that they can be used for both astronomy and terrestrial viewing. These telescopes feature an objective lens at the front of the tube with the light-emitting through the back of the tube to the eyepiece. A 90-degree erect image diagonal is used to lessen neck strain and also provide an upright image so that it can be doubled up as a spotting scope.
