Which is better Schmidt Cassegrain or Maksutov Cassegrain?

The main difference between Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutov-Cassegrains is the corrector lens at the front of the telescope. Both scopes use spherical mirrors which induce spherical aberration. Also, Maksutov-Cassegrains usually have longer focal ratios than SCTs, making them less well-suited for deep-sky photography.

What type of telescope is a Schmidt Cassegrain?

catadioptric telescope
The Schmidt–Cassegrain is a catadioptric telescope that combines a Cassegrain reflector’s optical path with a Schmidt corrector plate to make a compact astronomical instrument that uses simple spherical surfaces.

What are the parts of a traditional telescope?

Every telescope has two lenses — an objective lens and an eyepiece. Both of these are biconcave, that is, curved outwardly on both sides, like a classic “flying saucer.” The objective lens is at the end pointed toward the object you’re looking at.
