Why Should You Choose a Beginner Telescope?

What is a beginner telescope?

For astronomers who are new to photography and observation, all you need is an entry-level astronomical observation equipment.

You may feel strange, especially when you've already known that there are quite a few expensive and famous brand products on the market. However, for novices who lack astronomical knowledge and observation photography experience, It is necessary to start with an entry-level telescope and use it skillfully step by step.

What is the advantages of a beginner telescope?

Generally, the entry-level telescopes for beginners have a lot of advantages, which might be are easily overlooked by people.

Simple Setup

Beginner telescopes for adults are very simple to install. It usually takes just a few minutes to complete, and need no tools in the total process. This makes it the perfect choice for those who are new to telescopes.

Ease Of Use

The adult beginner telescope is also very easy to use. Once set up, all you need to do is focus and adjust magnification, adding accessories such as erect diagonal or barlow lenses if necessary. Then you can start viewing different objects. 

At the beginning, it is recommended that you start observing relatively simple objects. Keep trying to practice how to find the target, how to focus, and how to obtain a clear view in the process. 

Of course, most telescopes come with a tripod for added stability. This will make your whole observation process more convenient and easy.

Portable & Great For Outdoor Travel

For entry level telescopes, usually its configuration is simple and of light weight. For people who like outdoor hiking, it will be a nightmare to carry equipment weighing more than 10 kilograms.

Just think about it, we can take out the whole device from our backpack anytime, anywhere, and then observe our favorite land and celestial objects, without any other worries. What a wonderful thing it might be!

Affordable Price

For so many expensive and well-known brand, such as Swarovski and Zeiss on the market, telescopes costing tens of thousands of dollars are usually too expensive for ordinary people to afford. 

Fortunately, for those who are new to astronomy, entry-level astronomical equipment is usually cheaper and more accessible to the people. After all, there is no need for a large aperture, or considering various filters to block light interference or deep space photography camera to assist. 

Here, I recommend three high-quality and cheap telescopes:
