This section provides a wealth of information about equipment, including some equipment reviews, explanations of how certain equipment works and recommendations on what type of equiment you should consider or how it is used. There is also a very handy Telescope Calculator which allows you to work out various aspects of telescopes such as magnification, resolving power, etc.
