Telescopes Telescopes   Galileo FS-120CTC 1000x120mm Newtonian Tri-Centric Telescope Bushnell Voyager Sky Tour 114mm Reflector Telescope Bushnell NorthStar Goto 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Compact Telescope To get the most out of astronomy, you will want to buy a telescope. Buying your first telescope is always fun. You get to explore things which were there all the time, but possibly you haven’t realize the beautiful worlds in there own right. A good telescope can be purchased for only a few hundred dollars. These telescopes can help you see the best in the universe, and all from your own backyard!

There are three main types of telescopes, the refractor (Galileo) telescopes, the reflector (Newton) telescopes, and the . Galileo FS-120CTC 1000x120mm Newtonian Tri-Centric Telescope Refracting Telescopes. With refracting telescopes, they are a long thin tube that allows a much easier way to work with. Refracting telescopes are the type of telescope we often think of as a telescope. It was designed by Galileo and not only is it much easier to operate; it lasts longer, because everything is enclosed. The refractor telescope uses an objective lens that bends the light towards the eyepiece. The only downside is that they can get expensive for larger sizes. Looking for a great refracting telescope? Then take a look at the Galileo FS-120TC Telescope shown on the left side. Click on the image on the left or the link below for more information or to purchase your own Galileo Telescope. Our online sale price is $330.99. Reflecting Telescopes. With reflecting telescopes, you will find that they utilize a mirror which collects the light and then directs it towards the eyepiece. Reflecting telescopes are almost always the best way to go when you want a larger sized telescope because of the difference in the cost of the telescope. If you are looking for a great reflecting telescope then take a look at the Bushnell Voyager Sky Tour 114mm Reflector Telescope as shown on the right. General Features: Electronic Sky Tour handset gives you a real-time audio tour of the night sky Discover constellations, mythology, amazing facts and planets Illuminated Smart Mount guides you to the objects highlighted by the Handset LED electronic red dot finderscope for fast positioning 3 Large 1.25" diameter eyepieces Sturdy preassembled construction The ultimate first telescope Click on the image on the right or the link below for more information or to purchase your own Bushnell Sky Tour Reflector Telescope. Our online sale price is $249.95. Bushnell Voyager Sky Tour 114mm Reflector Telescope   Bushnell NorthStar Goto 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Compact Telescope Schmidt-Cassegrain. The third type of telescope is the Schmidt-Cassegrain. This uses lenses and mirrors to fold the light path back on itself within a compact tube. They are generally cheaper than refractors, but clearer than reflectors. They are more portable and easier to handle than the other two. If you are looking for a great Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope the take a look at the Bushnell NorthStar Goto 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Compact Telescope. Features: 4mm and 20mm eyepieces Erect image diagonal mirror for land viewing "Go To" computerized tracking technology Red Dot LED finderscope Remote hand-held control module Camera adaptable Quick release tripod Kinematic mount Accessory tray Specifications: 1550 x 127 / Motorized GoTo / Maksutov-Cassegrain Mount: Kinematic Mount Length: 1550mm Eyepieces: 4mm, 25mm Magnifications: 62, 387.5 Note: Magnification is calculated magnification. Low power is recommended for most viewing conditions.

Our online sale price is $699.95.   Though all of the telescopes here are easily available in the market we should take the following points into consideration before buying a telescope. Do not get impressed by the magnification of the telescopes. This is because magnification alone is of no use if it just produces large but hazy images. Aperture - The aperture is the most important factor when deciding on a telescope. Aperture is the end that collects the light so its important to choose a telescope with a larger aperture. This will ensure a clearer and a more detailed image quality. Resolution - The resolution is what enables the telescopes to produce a more detailed image. So you always want to look for a telescope that has a higher resolution. Also make note that resolution is also determined by the aperture. Therefore, the larger the aperture the better the resolution. Focal length - The focal length is the distance between the optical center of the lens or the mirror and the optical center of the eyepiece. The focal length is what determines the magnification in telescopes. Larger focal lengths results in more magnification. If we are careful about remembering the above points then it wont take us long to choose the correct telescope the next time we want to purchase one. One point that is of great delight is that telescopes have different versions today. No longer do you need to be an expert navigator of the heavens. Many telescope companies today have "GoTo" computerized telescopes that are very easy to operate.
