First Time Telescope

By Kozan Huseyin


Space telescopes are amazing instruments. Looking up to the sky on many occasions deep down you want to soon see more. A shining glimmer of light from a star is not enough, we want to see the beauty the universe contains. Your beginner telescope can be a blessing or a curse! Read my latest article on finding the right beginner telescope for your home.

There is a couple of things to clarify before we take a deeper look at what kind of planetary telescope will be right for your needs.

1. When you look through a planetary telescope it will be in shades of black and white.

2. The pictures on the planetary telescopes box is taken by a professional astro-photographer.

Think of the planetary telescope box for your beginner telescope as the pictures from fast food restaurants. The picture looks amazing in the picture, but the result is less than imagined. This can deter people thinking that planetary telescopes are not what they make out and that they should decide not to buy a beginner telescope. This is not the case, after all we still love the fast food. Your beginner telescope will still bring you amazing sights which are breathtaking.

One thing to keep in mind is the price and quality factor. In the last part I gave you an example of a fast food chain and the pictures. Now if you purchase your beginner telescope for $100 or less, than realize that the quality of your beginner telescope will not satisfy your desire to see the universe.

Those beginner telescopes selling for less than $100 are great for looking at the moon, but will prove no use for any deep space viewing. The key to having the best beginner telescope is to make sure your beginner telescope has a strong mount, otherwise the image will shake everywhere, and you will not see much.

The best option is to go for a $200+ planetary telescope for your beginner telescope. The price determines quality with planetary telescopes whether it is your first time planetary telescope or you are a seasoned planetary telescope user. And the most important parts that need quality is the planetary telescope mount, planetary telescope lens, and planetary telescope mirror.

The main items to look at when buying a planetary telescope are the two numbers that will tell you how well it is expected to work. For a good beginner telescope, a listing of 20X50 is about average. This means the magnification will equal 20 times what you see with your eyes and the 50 is the width of the length, which is what determines how much light is gathered. The more light the better the image will be visible in the dark and for astronomy, all star gazing is typically done after dark.

A lot of the cheap planetary telescopes try to sell you on fancy gadgets. They look good to have on your new beginner telescope, but the truth is that these kind of features will be of no use. Consider on a $100 beginner telescope that comes with loads of fancy gadgets, most of the money is going on those features. All you need to get started in astronomy with a beginner telescope is to make sure more of your money goes on the planetary telescope mirror, planetary telescope mount, and planetary telescope lenses.

Reading this article I hope has clarified certain things to consider when you buy your beginner telescope. There are a lot of things to consider, but keep to these rules, and when you buy a planetary telescope you will be pleased with the results.
