And by and large, the best views actually come at the lowest powers. Unlike binoculars, which normally have only one, fixed magnification, you can change a telescope's magnification by changing the eyepiece that fits into the focuser tube. The way telescopes work, the main lens or mirror collects the light and forms the image and the eyepiece does the job of magnifying that image. But because of the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere, and the wave nature of light itself, you will rarely be able to make good use of more than 50x per inch of aperture. Moreover, a telescope becomes very hard to aim at high power, and tiny wiggles in the mounting become major earthquakes shaking the view.
Most observers spend most of their time using a telescope's lowest power.
This gives the sharpest, brightest, steadiest, and widest view of the sky. That's another Dobsonian reflector, but one with a mirror 16 inches across. An advantage of the Dobsonian telescope's simplicity is that it scales up well. Rarely seen until a couple of decades ago, large Dobsonians are now common at star parties everywhere. The views in these monster Dobs are fantastic, but the size and weight of such an instrument demand a serious commitment of time and energy.
