Refractors

• refractors have a lens at the front of the tube
• it’s the type you’re probably most familiar with.
• while generally low maintenance, they quickly get expensive as the aperture increases.
• in refractor lingo, an apochromat offers better optical quality (and is more expensive) than an achromat of the same size.
