ideal orbit for telescope?

[Carrot]

I just downloaded a space telescope mod which has 2 telescopes. I am wondering where should I put them on? polar orbit or equator orbit or a 45 degrees orbit? Around kerbin or around the sun? Thanks

Polar orbits are the only orbits that will guarantee you will cover just about all of a body's surface. As for distance/orbiting body, well, it really depends on how it functions... what kind of field of view does it have? The narrower, the further you can (have to) be, the wider, the closer you want to be if you want a chance to see anything.

That depends on what you're trying to see...
