Bushnell now manufacturers a NorthStar Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with the incredibly popular GoTo capabilities. The Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) design has become the most popular in amateur astronomy because it is a master of compromise. SCTs are not unwieldy like a refractor, nor do they require the cleaning regimen of a Newtonian reflector. They instead have great optics, a relatively wide field of view, and a good ratio of light gathering per dollar.
