Not trying to highjack. Just spent a lot of time and money making so many mistakes lol. These are the basic rules for buying your first good telescope. 1) Stay with the name brands(Celestron, Apertura, Sky Watcher, Orion, Zhumell. NOT Tasco or Bushnell). 2) If going refractor, try to go 90mm+ with at least a 700mm focal length. 3) If going Reflector, try going 114mm+ with at least a 700mm focal length(preferably 130mm+). 4) If going Dobsonian, 6" diameter minimum for full size. If you buy a tabletop, 5" is ok. 5)Throw away any eyepieces smaller than 10mm. At minimum you want a 10mm and 25mm eyepiece. Any extra eyepieces purchased separately should have good "eye relief". One highly recommended brand and model right now is Celestron's Starsense line of telescopes. They come with a phone mount and an app you put on your phone. The app has a map of the sky and shows arrows on the screen and helps you find objects in the sky. Really useful for new astronomers.
i’ve never bought a telescope before & i’m planning to buy one soon! out of the brands you named which would you prefer personally or for someone like me? thanks!
@@ceffreyjastillo Quality goes a loooong way. There is no cheap route to astronomy unfortunately. It's hard to explain the quality difference. You would have to see through them side by side. Same with the eyepieces. A good bad eye piece vs a good piece will be the difference of Jupiter being a bright fuzzy ball vs a ball that you can clearly make out the cloud bands on. Also, most telescopes(even the better ones) come with the wrong eyepieces. Usually they come with 2. A 25mm and a 10mm. The 25mm won't magnify anything very much so jupiter will just be a slightly bigger dot, and the 10mm will be too strong and hard to find anything because not enough light is getting through.
Timestamps for everybody in a hurry to buy: 00:30 🌌 Hexeum Telescope offers portability and high-quality optics. 02:23 🔭 Orion SpaceProbe 130ST is ideal for deep-space observation and smartphone photography. 04:39 🌟 SARBLUE Mak70 provides a lightweight, portable telescope with smartphone compatibility. 06:26 🌒 Meade Polaris Series is user-friendly and suitable for viewing planets and stars. 08:45 🪐 Celestron StarSense Explorer DX offers easy sky recognition technology and sharp optics for beginners.
The Celestron Star Sense Explore DX130 exceeded expectations. Despite minor setup discrepancies, it flawlessly guided through alignment and precisely located celestial objects. Easy assembly, great packaging, and quick setup make it a stellar choice for amateur astronomers. Well worth the investment!
@@Funny_jokeman108and he did. All the links to buy them are affiliated links. It’s just a text to speech, and the info videos of the telescopes probably by the producer itself. So there is no research that tested them or anything. So this video is basically teleshopping 2.0
This kind of content annoys me. The video could be good, but the images you show are ridiculous! If you show images, make them the REAL images for each telescope.
I love shooting the terminus, where you can really see the shadows of the vast mountainous terrain. I got a few trips in the near future thatll take me to more rural areas again. Shall i try to capture and post?
There's nothing worth buying in LT range. Actually, the only reason to buy Starsense LT scope is to take Starsense from it, and attach it to another scope
My goal is to see Saturn very defined. I saw a youtube video on the Celestron LT and got disappointed because of the heavy wobbling, so you just see a spot similar to very shining star. The only thing good about it was the app which the DX also has. I returned my purchase and went with the Orion Spaceprobe 130ST. Reviews and pictures taken with the Orion are really good. Still need to test it. I wish it had the app though.
Celestron LT & DX are not telescopes, but range of telescope models. Orion Spaceprobe 130ST isn't best for planetary observations due to short focal length(ST means Short Tube here), but it's a good all-rounder, and you will definitely see Saturn rings... if you manage to get used to EQ mount.
The best, least expensive one for "visual astronomy" versus "astrophotography (< - - this gets expensive really fast)" is a DOBSONIAN. This type of telescope lets you see more (planets, moon, galaxies) for less money. You probably want to try a table top because it is small, but then you need a table to set it on - BUT a 6", or 8" is the better way to go. Not much price difference (relatively speaking) to go from a 6" to an 8" and you will see much more. If you get a REFRACTOR telescope (the type that you typically likely think of when you think of a telescope), those cost much more because they use more lenses (as opposed to mirrors), and lenses are more expensive than mirrors. Otherwise, you can get a small REFRACTOR, because they are easy to use, but you will see much, much less. - I would go with the 6" or 8" DOB (Dobsonian) and just want some videos so you learn what they are. If you 12yr old grandson really take to astronomy, then you (or he) can acquire more/different telescope - but you will never have to get rid of this one. The (6" or 8") DOB is one that even people who have been doing this forever and have amazing telescope, probably also have. It is very portable and lets you see so much. If you still have questions, leave a response here and I'll try to get back to you.
Anyone have an opinion on Meade Newtonian reflectors or Schmidt-Cassegrain? And something else- what about Questar? I know nothing about them, but have been told that they are the best if you have the money, but are they something like Leica cameras, great but overpriced?
Locate astronomy clubs in your area and inquire about public viewing nights. Every club I have ever been in or know of has public viewing nights. Check it out. Also contact the local community college and find out if that offer astronomy. If, get the instructor contact info, and send email asking about location one might be able to get on a scope during a public viewing night. Good luck!
Genuine Question. Why is it only for beginners? Like can can I as a beginner just use a professional one and get used to it easily? Or everything on the market is just beginner use? Just curious.
Beginner ones are typically cheaper and easier to move around and take on the go…. More professional telescopes costs thousands and they much harder to set up and actually be ready to watch the sky. Some telescopes you’ve got to add special lenses too which costs more money.
Dude, don't jump in to the deep end of the pool until you learn to swim. This endeavor is deep and wide - you will only frustrate yourself if you get in over your head - which you will if you go pro-grade right out of the starting block.
Oh hell no, there are 100.000 dollar plus scopes you can buy readilly from the market. Most of the scopes in the video are small and !relatively! inexpensive scopes that should enable you to see a good chunk of the heavens. And if you do not like the hobby, just sell it and you will have not lost much money. However, if you do like the hobby, you realy can take it as far as you would like it to go. Now can you easily use expert level equipment, yes, in my opinion you can. It is still a scope, nothing changed in that part. If I use a 10.000 dollar apochromatic 150mm refractor, or my cheap and dirty 500 dollar 200mm dobsonian reflector. It takes basically the same skills to look at the moon. And arguably the 10.000 apochromatic refractor usually does not collimation etc. and may actually be easier in use.
What preferable and maximum budget you have? Where/How do you live? In city in some apartment, in own house with yard and garage, or own house etc outside cities? (that affects to what can be observed and what kind telescopes fit circumstances)
