Very important. I also bought my telescope through these guys. I have a 10" Dobsonion Reflector. Obviously not in the price range you are looking. But the guide is the best place to look first.

airman Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 For the $100 range, the best choice would probably be going with a refractor. I'd rather have a nice(er) refractor telescope than a cheap(er) reflector! Honestly if you find a reflector telescope for $100 it's probably junky!
