That's a good point: as drawn, the refracting telescope still has a mirror and also wouldn't be able to see space vampires. However, the refracting telescope doesn't have to have a secondary mirror, and there are plenty that don't, so it is more the drawing that is wrong rather than the text of the comic.[[User:Cmancone|Cmancone]] ([[User talk:Cmancone|talk]]) 14:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC) | That's a good point: as drawn, the refracting telescope still has a mirror and also wouldn't be able to see space vampires.
