Reflector

A reflector telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light. Light enters the telescope through its open 
front end and travels to the concave primary mirror at the back. From there the light is reflected back up 
the tube to a flat secondary mirror, which sits at a 45° angle in relation to the eyepiece. Light bounces off 
of this secondary mirror and out through the eyepiece. A reflector telescope is designed for astronomical 
use. Terrestrial objects may appear inverted, sideways or at an angle depending on how your tube is 
oriented due to optical design. This rotation is perfectly normal on all Newtonian reflectors and will not 
affect astronomical viewing.   

Refractor: 

A refracting telescope uses a collection of lenses to gather and focus light. A refractor’s views will 
be upside down if a diagonal is not in use. A standard diagonal will generate a “right side up” image, 
however, it will rotate the image on the vertical axis (mirror image). To get the “right side up” image 
without the rotation, you will need to use a special diagonal with an erect image prism. 

Catadioptric:

A catadioptric telescope uses a combination of mirrors and lenses to gather and focus light. Popular 
catadioptric designs include the Maksutov-Cassegrain and Schmidt-Cassegrain.
