For those who are considering a Bushnell 565x60mm refractor but don't really understand what a refractor telescope is all about, here's some clarification.

Whether a Bushnell 565x60mm refractor or any other model such as, a Bushnell 570x60 Voyager refractor telescope, all refractor telescopes have some identical elements. The refractor telescope is one that uses a lens rather than a mirror as its source for the gathering and focusing of light. Refractor telescopes were the first type of telescopes ever made. Rifles too have refractor telescopes.

What's great about refractor telescopes is their ruggedness. You'll have far less trouble with misalignment of your optics in your refractor telescope than any reflector telescope you buy. Another advantage is that its glass surface, sealed inside the telescope tube rarely has to be cleaned - and, since it's inside, weather doesn't affect it either. The images you see with your Bushnell 565x60mm refractor or any other refractor are bound to be steady and sharp as compared with any reflector telescope you try.
