Few Do's and Don'ts About Your Astronomical Telescope

On trying to have your own astronomical telescope

Instead of contemplating on buying a cheap telescope from the toy section of a department store, go to a reliable telescope dealer and check out inexpensive discount telescope which might be available.

If you are really hard up on money, and can’t afford even a discount telescope, try building a one of your own. Refracting telescope has very few and simple parts – this is the ideal type of telescope that you might want to assemble. Try rubbing in on your kids or brother your interest in astronomy by asking them to assist you in your telescope making.

On proper use of refracting telescope

Always avoid touching the objective lens or eyepiece of your refracting telescope or any scope that you might have.

See to it that the telescope is properly and securely mounted. Correct mounting affords you to have the ideal viewing and star gazing.

After every use, store your telescope in a safe and clean place, away from dust particles. Secure a hood cover for protection if you can.

Put on some lens cap for protection and to keep you from touching it.
