Product Information

For beginners and anyone on a budget, the Celestron Inspire 100AZ is a great choice. It comes with various accessories, and it's sturdily built and equipped with a ton of user-friendly features, making it a breeze to use and good value for money. SkySafari 7 Pro: this is one of the best apps out there if you want to get serious about your stargazing and astrophotography. It is particularly good for telescope control and has one of the largest databases you'll find, but it may be overkill for some. ★★★★★ The Celestron Astro Fi 130 is undoubtedly a great telescope for the price, but we think there are a few things that could be better. The battery life is a bit short, and the included eyepieces aren't the best quality.We think it's worth upgrading the eyepieces for a better experience, but for value for money, we highly recommend this scope. NASA app: the NASA app is a great educational resource to learn about space and keep up to date on all the latest news from NASA missions. However, it is limited on stargazing and astrophotography features and more geared towards entertainment.★★★★½ Watch the weather reports for any news of warm or cold fronts arriving. These occur when warm or cold air blows in and displaces the air that’s already around you. This displacement causes a lot of turbulence in the atmosphere. Depending on whereabouts in the sky you’re looking, this can make it very difficult to see clearly. If the air above you is settled, you’ll be able to see much farther. Listen out for weather reports talking about high-pressure systems, which bring a few straight days of clear skies. Try to go out on these settled, clear nights to give yourself the best chance!

Barlow lenses aren’t technically eyepieces, but they can be used alongside your eyepiece to great effect. They fit between your eyepiece and the lens of the telescope, magnifying the image by a factor of 3X. Barlow lenses essentially give you extra magnification power, so you have even more flexibility to get your view of the night sky looking just right. AperturePoor seeing doesn’t necessarily mean a stargazing session is over, but it can make it difficult to see distant, fainter objects in the sky. While you can’t control all of the atmospheric conditions, you might be surprised to know there’s a lot you can do to give yourself the best seeing.

But there is also a more personal motivation for Murabana’s work — combatting the perception that astronomy is a Western science. If it's a GoTo that you're after, we think the Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 is an exceptional GoTo scope that delivers breathtaking views of the night sky. It has a Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with a generous aperture of 235mm and a robust single-fork arm mount to ensure stability and precision. The motorized mount includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing an impressive 10 hours of uninterrupted stargazing.A finder scope is a low-power (low magnification) telescope that sits on your main telescope. Your main telescope will typically have a narrow field of view, meaning you'll see only a little portion of the sky when you look through it. Your finder scope, with a wider field of view, assists you in pointing your telescope to your desired subject, making it easy to hone in on your target with minimal searching and repositioning. Aligning the Skymax 127 is a simple process, but beginners may need some practice to get it just right. We recommend thoroughly reading the manual to get familiar with the telescope before you take it out in the dark and realize you don't know what to do! The Newtonian can be found on alt-azimuth mounts, but you shouldn't be too surprised to find this type of reflector is more popularly affixed to an equatorial mount, allowing the telescope to follow the rotation of the sky while being aligned with your hemisphere's celestial pole. This reflector is a favorite in the amateur astronomy community due to its versatility in observing a wide selection of astronomical targets and allowing for astrophotography. With Newtonians, you can also buy a large aperture for less money — for instance, an eight-inch (203.2 mm) reflector would cost you less than a refractor with the same aperture, allowing you to get much more value for your money.

This is the time of globalization. We are living in a very focused & competitive market. Thus, when we want to buy anything, we have a wide exhibit of options in our grasp. We become befuddled. PhotoPills: we think PhotoPills is a must-have app for those who are serious about astrophotography and want to get the perfect shot of particular objects in the night sky. Its astrophotography features are unmatched, but it's not ideal for casual stargazing. ★★★★★While not as long as the Celestron Inspire 100AZ, the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130 EQ2's long tube length results in f/7 and makes high magnification possible. During our review of the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130 EQ2, we could easily get sharp views of the Jovian System (Jupiter, its rings and moons) and Saturn's rings looked impressive while using the supplied Barlow lens. It comes with a 25mm eyepiece, 1.25-inch star diagonal, heavy-duty stainless steel tripod, accessory tray, spirit level, Starry Night Special Edition software and a 6x30 finderscope. The app itself has an extension that allows you to direct Space Navigator telescopes or binoculars to particular stars, planets or objects. This will be handy if you already own one, but these aren't particularly high-end products, so they haven't made it into our lists of best telescopes and best binoculars for that reason. If you're new to stargazing, or even if you just don't have a lot of experience, this telescope can give you an astronomy experience to marvel at using telescope technology and good optics, serving as a virtual guide to the night sky. When she was volunteering with Cosmos Education, the team had graduate students from the UK and US but no one else from Africa. Despite Murabana’s passion for astronomy, she felt she didn’t belong.
