If You Could Have Only One Reflector…

March 15, 2026 by Brian Ventrudo Filed Under: Astronomy Equipment

In a previous video, Ed Ting discussed what refractor he would have if he could have only one refractor. In this follow-up, he turns to a discussion of reflectors. These telescopes, of course, have more varied designs than refractors and offer the potential for far more aperture which enables brighter images and higher resolution. What does Ed choose? Well, it’s a bit of a head scratcher and one you can’t buy anymore. But his reasoning is well worth following in this enjoyable video.
