Refractors |

A refractor on an guided equatorial mount is popular for astrophography. |
|
|
Schmidt Cassegrain |
|
These telescopes have been popular for astrophography for at least a decade. An optional equatorial wedge mount is recomended when using these telescopes. These wedges make the axis of the rotation of the telescope parrallel to the rotation of the earth. This makes it easier for the telescope to track objects since they move with the rotation of the earth. |
