A discussion on telescopes for the beginner to astrophotography. The video discusses telescope types, F number, optical design, chromatic aberration, framing, object size, telescope mounts, astronomy filters, broadband and narrowband imaging. This is one of three videos describing astrophotography equipment and important features to consider before purchasing equipment. A separate video discusses accessories, their use, DSLR astrophotography, star trackers, CMOS cameras, telescope mount types, software, setup, polar alignment and use of a German Equatorial Mount.
