Refractor and reflector telescopes differ in their optical designs and characteristics for astrophotography. Refractor telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, offering sharp images with minimal chromatic aberration but limited aperture sizes. Reflector telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, providing larger apertures for gathering more light but may require occasional collimation to maintain optimal performance. The choice depends on your imaging priorities, budget, and portability preferences.
