Best Telescopes to PHOTOGRAPH the Planets

In this review video, I discuss must-haves and nice-to-haves when looking for a telescope to photograph the planets and share my personal experiences. I also review 19 telescopes (Schmidt Cassegrain, modified Schmidt Cassegrain, Maksutov, and Dobson telescopes) and compare them to the criteria mentioned in the first part of the video. This is NOT a sponsored video so I'll discuss different brands and telescope types. You can find affiliate links to the telescopes mentioned in this video below. Clear skies!
