 Telescopes are fun

Everyday need to be fun. And to add to additional fun - a telescope will most likely do the trick.
Going out everyday to unique places or even star gazing at night with a telescope would be extra fun than usual.
This way you could point and take a extra closer look to the 1, for example, constellation that you like most.
Telescopes are fun. Get a telescope and let everyday lif......

 Principle in which the telescope works

The principle in which the telescope works is very simple. There are two lenses that make up the task of viewing the objects that are at a distance. One of the lenses picks up the light from the object viewed and makes it available at a focus point. Another lens picks up the bright light from the focus point and spreads it out to your retina so that you can view. The lens that picks up the ligh......

 The different types of telescopes for beginners

Refractor- It is most commonly used and traditionally designed telescope. The telescope has a lens or mirror in the front to gather light and capture an image. It is a little expensive but the cost depends on the aperture, so a small refractor can be good option as a telescopes for beginners.

Newtonian reflector- It can be viewed using an eyepiece.Larger apertures are available but at t......

 Most often associated with astronomy—Refracting Telescope

The refracting telescope is the telescope most often associated with astronomy. It was the first type of telescope made and uses a set of lenses to collect and magnify the light of whatever you are looking at. Because of the cost and weight of large lenses refracting telescopes don't have the aperture that reflecting telescopes do, however they tend to have a much longer focal length. This larg......

 Sold With An Inferior Focuser

First thing you see when looking at the focuser, you will find that most department store telescopes come with cheap plastic focusers. This may not seem important at first, but over time those cheap plastic parts will began to wear out, slip, and eventually stop working. Once it cracks or starts to slip, you may find replacing the focuser would be more expensive than the telescope is worth.

 Other accessories of astronomer's 'kit'

1.A Planisphere: Make certain this is one you can read easily at night with your red flashlight!
2.A Red Light Flashlight: A red flashlight prevents you from losing your night vision the way a regular (white) flashlight would.
3.A Barlow Lens: A Barlow lens is a lens you slip your eyepieces into that then doubles or triples their magnification. Having a barlow is like doubling the n......

 Dobsonian Telescope

Dobsonian telescopes were developed in the 1960's by John Dobson, an amateur astronomer. Having been fascinated by the Universe, John Dobson built his telescope, based on the Newtonian reflector telescope, out of every day common materials such as plywood and cardboard and is mostly, if not always alt-azimuth mounted. This simply meant that it had a simple two-axis mount for supporting and rota......

 Refractor Telescope

Refractor telescopes, also known as refracting telescopes or dioptric telescopes bend light to make parallel rays converge at a focal point. The refractor telescope design was predominantly used in spy glasses before its use in astronomical telescopes. The refractor telescope was the first kind of telescope invented. It utilises' a glass lens as a medium to refract the rays of light to form an ......

 Full size binoculars

Basically, binoculars with an objective lens smaller than 30 mm are considered "Compacts", while ones with lenses larger than this are described as "Full Size". In most cases, I recommend people to go with a full size binocular for watching birds and nature. One reason is that they are just a lot easier to look through. A reason for this is compact binoculars have correspond......
