Astronomical telescopes generally fall into one of three major categories; reflectors, refractors and catadioptrics. A brief description of the various designs can be found here. Reflectors generally offer the largest apertures for the price. The Dobsonian reflector in particular is highly recommended for beginners due to the simplicity of the mount and its ease of use. More complex mounts offer manual/automatic tracking of celestial objects and GoTo functionality.

Increasingly popular in recent years are relatively small apochromatic refractors, which offer an combination of portability and superb high contrast images at affordable prices.
