If you had the choice of a SCT or Refractor, which one would you choose? Why?
I know this sounds silly but I am under the notion that aperture is everything. Bigger is better!
Believe me, I am very new to astronomy and am looking for an education I just want some educated discussion on the subject.

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
