Why not ! I needed a new topic!

Interesting video. For the same price I wonder which one is better a 80 mm APO or a 102/1000 mm or even 127/1200 achromat ? I don't know which one I should buy, for normal use, not for astrophotography.

[@AstroWorldTV]

There are many achromatic scopes that are really good quality…focal length is king when you are doing visual…check out the store website at www.astroworldtelescopes.com

OK. good info, Thk u! Is an achro good enough for a travel refractor telescope while traveling to the Big Sky Country out to the Northwest ?

[@AstroWorldTV]

Absolutely…achromats are fine scopes…just get a quality one there are some real bad scopes out there…feel free to contact me at [e-mail] and check out www.AstroWorldTelescopes.com

For a beginner trying to learn the difference, this was way too much info, keep it basic and try not to use new terms when you give the recommendations at the end. Thank you.
