About this deal

The Bresser Classic telescope features a 70mm aperture, with three eyepieces for sky viewing – 4mm, 12.5mm, and 20mm. It has an 18x-140x potential magnification and a 350mm focal length that enables a wide viewing area to be accessed through the tube. The 5×24 viewfinder has a hair cross design for easy and specific targeting. An erecting prism is also incorporated into the refractor design to create an upright, correct image for observation. Some people are put down when they read these sort of things, how awful those tripods are and such, but a starter does not have the bias of how much better high end equipment is, thus cannot say in his mind "this is so bad and unusable", a newbie just goes and use it and tries to make the best out of it. Of course, the Celestron Travel Scope does have some room to grow and improve when it comes to the mount and the lenses but you can easily upgrade these components when and if you are ready to maximise the scope’s abilities. Yes people-children get into astronomy to learn, and learning about how telescopes work is about as important as, for example those who wish to take up photography need to know how cameras work. Point and shoot photography is as point and shoot astronomy . It is entry by consumerism. As GH Martin posted above, not only do they need to know how to find their way around the sky they need to know too about how their telescope works. Are you looking for a telescope to get started with? When you want to get into stargazing, one of the most important – if not THE most important bit of kit is a telescope. Without a telescope you might just be gazing dreamily at the stars out of your bedroom window!

No knowledge necessary!” the ads will say. Aside from the fact that most of us get into astronomy to learn stuff, that’s seldom true anyway. With a low-end Go To scope (which is what the computerized ones are called), you’re likely to learn quite a bit of computer debugging and maybe even mechanical repair skills before you even get your first look through one. Seriously, I have seen people spend their entire night fiddling with the electronics, trying in vain to get the computer to work properly, and never once getting to look at anything in the sky. When I was starting as a teen I had a 6-inch reflector on a heavy old Edmund EQ mount, and its motions definitely helped me find my way. Accurate polar alignment not required; just plunk it down with the polar axis aimed more or less at Polaris. Perhaps you already have a bit of experience and want to move up in terms of quality and stability so you can look at the objects out there in the vast universe a bit more clearly? Can’t get enough sharpness with your current telescope?The Slokey 40070 telescope has the right cost for the good quality it provides you. The telescope assembly is simple and easy for anyone with little or no prior knowledge. The instructions include illustrations at each step of the assembly to help clarify any text. The telescope body, accessories and tripod are lightweight and fit comfortably in the included case for easy transport. This clever scope is able to see clearly as far as Saturn, and can even show you the Crab Nebula M82 and M81 Decide what it is you actually want to see. If you are happiest looking at the moon in detail, or a few of our closest neighbours, then your requirements for the best telescope will be different than if you want to observe deep space. The point about 0.96" eyepieces. Again, a good Kellner works very well. Sure, smaller field of view but just as sharp in the centre view as any of the Plossls I own. In fact my livery of eyepieces for my 8-inch ARE 0.96's Kellners and Orthoscopics. One is in fact a cannibalized binocular 20mm eyepiece that has a remarkable FoV 65-deg! and performs sharply to about 80% of the Field. Perhaps we need a manufacturer that can design a beginner scope with a sturdy equatorial mount.

Gives fantastic clear imagery of the moon, Saturn’s rings and Jupiter’s moons, as well as nebulae and star clustersIn my younger time, one would be able to find good quality eyepieces in 24.5mm (japanese standard). I still have an OR12mm which showed me the bands on Jupiter for the first time (which I had not been able to see with the H20 or H6mm that came with my 3" reflector). They are not made anymore. I have a young niece who somehow inherited the same type of reflector, but the eyepiece were Huyghens type, but with plastic lenses. And the 6mm was in reality something like a 15 (not much difference in magnification with the 20mm). I looked all over the internet to find a good OR type eyepiece for her, and couldn't find one. So we bought here a new 1.25" focuser and some decent eyepieces.

In my country, i couldn't find any Dob, used or new that didn't cost four times my budget. Only high end dobs are sold here. In fact, recently there was this big star gazing and astronomy event around my city's unviersity, and out of 200+ telescopes, i only spotted 2 Dobsonians. As with so many other things in life, education can help you avoid making frustrating mistakes. If you’re a beginner, a few minutes reading this article before you buy a telescope can save you a lot of disappointment later. Making an informed choice can get you a scope that will provide you with many years of enjoyment. On the other hand, a good computerized mount can be an amazing experience. Several manufacturers now build systems that recognize the star field when you power them on and reliably know where to go when you tell them what you want to look at. It’s just that these good systems cost a fair amount of money, and you’re unlikely to get a good one at a beginner’s-scope price. The Orion StarBlast 4.5 tabletop reflector is an excellent starter scope. RecommendationsThe Celestron Travel telescope features a 70mm aperture and comes with 10mm and 20mm eyepieces included, achieving either 20x or 40x magnification. Its highest theoretical magnification reaches 165x, its focal length is 400mm, and has a focal ratio of f/5.71. A 5×24 finder scope attaches to the side of the main scope. Plus, a top-rated astronomy software is also included to help you locate and view specific objects in the galaxy.

I disagree somewhat about an equatorial mount -- if it is STURDY! The motions show where celestial east-west and north-south are in both your finder view and eyepiece view -- making it much easier to compare directions in the eyepiece with a map, or with articles that say "Look 2 degrees northeast of [this] to find [that]." And of course following things takes only 1 motion, not 2. A 60-mm aperture is too small to provide a good view of much more than the Moon and bright open clusters like M45, the Pleiades. Better Quality Tripod ...You will get a more professional and robust tripod to improve stability, offering you easier and more comfortable use of your telescope and better resolution images. A telescope’s aperture is the size or diameter of the main or objective lens. Aperture is the most important feature to consider when buying a telescope. A larger aperture means a brighter image, better details and the ability to see deeper into the sky. 3. How to make a telescope more powerful? How to increase the magnification of a telescope? Conclusion, astronomy is an expensive hobby. But that doesn't mean you should wait 4 years to save your salary to buy something decent. In the meantime, get a 70mm or 80mm refractor on an AZ mount and use whatever tripod it has. Buy it from a brand with a name or expect low quality lenses and eyepieces. At this price viewfinders are crappy so get one with a red spot one and the one that has the better eyepieces. I'd recommend Celestron AstroMaster and Meade Infinity ones.The Skywatcher Evostar-90 AZ3 is a great refractor telescope, suitable for a wide range of abilities and budgets. This scope comes with two different lenses to observe sky objects at different depths. It has a long focal length, and can gather 65% more light than a standard 70mm model, which will give you clear images. It’s ideal for detailed views of the moon, as well as other objects in the solar system. An Alt-Azimuth mount is included, which is high quality and offers stability and strength for good viewing. What I like about it: As we all know, there is a vast amount of information out there about a huge range of different scopes. It can be really hard to whittle this down into “What is the best telescope for me?” Well, now you don’t have to whittle, because I have done it for you! Without identifying which was which, we spent much of the night getting just over 100 people to look through the telescopes at high power and rank them. These people included not just serious Stellafaners but spouses, children, and newbie visitors, some of whom had barely looked through a telescope before. Tripod of better quality and more professional, it weighs more so it is more stable (necessary when using enough power).
