Question
How does a schmidt Newtonian work and where can I get any internal pictures or diagrams on it? thank you,george phelps  

Answer
George,
I try to refer all telescope questions to Tom Whiting:

He has a lot more experience with telescopes than me.  I live in a city, and there's just too much light pollution.

Keep Looking Up!

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
