1. The reflector was one of the first telescopes invented. It was originally called the Newtonian, after Sir Isaac Newton who produced the first model. It uses a series of mirrors to focus and reflect the image back to the eye. The reflector is generally better for deep sky viewing.

2. Orion Telescope also produces another good beginner scope in the refractor scope. This scope uses curved glass lenses to reflect images in the night sky. It is ideal for looking at individual planets, stars, the moon, etc. and gets crisp, clear detail.

3. The Cassegrain telescope is known for its portability and its ability to look at images both on the ground and in the sky. It is one of the Orion Telescope line that is most adapted to be taken out on hiking or camping trips.

4. Spotting scopes are a product which is similar in nature to binoculars. They are much like the telescopes you might have seen on the old pirate movies except they are not usually made in gold anymore. This is another highly portable member of the Orion Telescope family and the images are seen upright unlike many telescopes that invert images. They are great for horizon level viewing.

5. Dobsonian scopes are refractor telescopes that have a very low base and can be used on a table top, on the ground or any other fairly flat, even surface. They are good for beginners who may prefer the point and view method of using an Orion Telescope.
