FAQ

 

Which telescope is the best?

Well, this question is a difficult one to answer without knowing more context about what you’re looking for. When choosing a telescope, many factors should be brought into consideration. Is this your first telescope? Where are you going to use it? Who are going to use it? What objects do you want to observe? What’s your budget? All of this information can help us decide which telescope model is the most suitable option for you.

Don’t get fooled by magnification!

People are impressed by numbers, so one of the most misleading spec on a telescope is the magnification. The higher the magnification is, the more difficult it is to get a clear image. High magnification is useful when the sky is very clear and has no light pollution. Hence, the number might be used to market cheap telescopes to look appealing. Instead, optic quality should be the first thing you consider when getting a telescope. 

Types of Telescopes

In general, refractor and reflector telescopes may be the most popular types in the market. Though there are different models of reflectors and refractors, it is very easy to find them on stores or online platform. However, there are also different models of other types of telescopes worth trying. Each model has their own pro’s and con’s so feel free to consult before buying. Most sellers are only trying to get profit from you without the full understanding of each specification means.

Which Telescope Brand is the Best?

The answer is purely personal. Some famous brands have high-quality optics and it comes with a high price tag. But also when a brand is well-known the price tag gets even heftier. The interesting thing is, many of these telescopes are manufactured by the same factory but labeled with different brand. So when it comes to my own personal favourite, the answer is simple: a lesser-known brand with cheaper price tag but the same high-quality as the popular ones.

Bottom line
