The following are lists of devices categorized as types of telescopes or devices associated with telescopes. They are broken into major classifications with many variations due to professional, amateur, and commercial sub-types.

Most telescopes will fall into one of three categories: refractors (which use lenses to bend light into focus), reflectors (which use mirrors that reflect light into focus), and catadioptric or compound scopes, (which use a combination of both lenses and mirrors).

2024年3月14日 · The 17 Types of Telescopes: 1. Refractor Telescopes. Refractors are a type of telescope built with lenses that refract light and send it along a focal path within the telescope tube. An eyepiece captures the light at its focal point, creating the image you see within. Below are 4 types of refractor scopes and their common uses.
