Hi Shannon,

The comfort of viewing and sketching is an important factor of my astronomical experience at the eyepiece. I tend to make my time at the eyepiece as relaxing as possible. I tried various telescope types, some with more pain than others. I came to the conclusion that comfort comes before aperture. So I prefer scopes with the eyepiece at the back: binoculars, refractors, Cassegrains and Maks. With these types, I can make the best out of my sketching experience.

But that’s just my personal opinion.
