what is the difference betwen the short tube or long tube telescopes. im a beginner and want to buy a telescope to see the moon and other planets like venus, mars, jupiter and saturn. Will a short tube like the one from the ''Orion ShortTube 80-A Refractor Telescope'' be good for me?
someone answer please
