Are you just caught up into the amazing hobby of gazing and observing the heavens? Do you already have your own telescope to use for your nightly star gazing? If you are a budding hobbyist in the field of astronomy, certainly you should not in any way be having thoughts of buying a toy telescope. You should at least purchase for yourself a simple beginner telescope, such as a refractor or reflecting telescope.
Buying those toy scopes is a big no-no as this would only indicate that you are not serious in your star gazing hobby. Of course, later on, as you become really into this astronomical endeavor, you will have to replace your basic refracting or reflecting telescope with one that is more sophisticated and advanced model, which makes for a more exciting stargazing and research.
Remember, even as a newbie in this endeavor, one must shun away from those inexpensive toy scopes, especially the ones offered in department stores. To buy a telescope that is obviously a toy is simply a worthless exercise and the output that you will get is certainly less than impressive. Simply put, buy only the best astronomical telescope possible. (Image credit: tripletlads)
