On Owning User-friendly Astronomical Telescope

What is the best astronomical telescope for the novice astronomer, star-gazing hobbyist or the pre-teen kids who are very much interested in observing the stars and the planet? If the main concern is to star gaze and observe the skies and space, the best telescope should be a user-friendly one.

First of all, a perfectly user-friendly astronomical telescope is one which is easy to set up and assemble. Of course there are many scope models not needing any assembly at all. The only tiny concern is setting up, and the problem is not on the setting up of the telescope but more on where to position and set up the telescope.

The user-friendly astronomy telescope is also one with minimal instructions or procedures on how to get the best images of the planets and the moon, even the nearest galaxy. Not so much buttons, or dials to push or move, yet you only get the clearest, most crisp space pictures.

If someone is new in stargazing, better advise him on purchasing a simple refracting telescope as this is one of the most useful, reliable and user-friendly scopes to exist. Better yet, most scope stores have personnel who can be very helpful in providing you more information about scopes, and guiding you in buying the most appropriate and user-friendly telescope for you.

Latest Space Telescope

Without NASA and its powerful astronomical telescopes, we would literally be in the dark as far as the solar system, the stars and the universe are concerned.

This world-renowned space agency is in the forefront in gathering important data and astronomical information with the use of astronomy telescopes, such as the radio telescope and of course the Hubble Space Telescope, the space-based scope in seemingly eternal orbit around the earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope has a distinct advantage over those scopes that are stationed on land – its images of space objects are much clearer because of the absence of the Earth’s blur-causing atmosphere.

Now, the agency has developed its latest space telescope, the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope, which picks up gamma rays produced by neutron stars and black holes.

We have always been fascinated, even baffled, with black holes and the birth of the universe. Hopefully, space scientists and astronomers will be able to learn more about these space phenomena that exist in our universe with the help of the Gamma Ray Telescope.

Great Alternative to Astronomical Telescopes: Bino

Having an astronomical telescope is one glaring sign that one is serious in his lover for astronomy. It’s the ultimate goal of one into the field of star gazing and observing – that is, to own a good and reliable telescope for himself.

Perhaps, if an astronomy enthusiast does not have one, he might borrow or join another avid star gazer who has his own. Or maybe, just to go to the local observatory and use the available telescope that’s open for use to the public. Still and all, if you are an avid star gazer and you are sure that observing the stars is going to be a lifetime passion, it is best that you invest in a professional astronomical telescope.

However, you might also decide on an alternative to the telescope which is the binoculars, which is usually thought of as optical gadget one use during a sport game especially if you are in the bleacher section. But the bino can likewise act as a reliable astronomy telescope, and with great advantages over the real one at that.

First of all, they are cheaper compared to even the simplest refracting telescope. Another advantage is that unlike the scope, they have minimum need for maintenance and setting up. They are very simple to use, yet like the scope they can be powerful enough to be used primarily for star gazing sessions.

As an alternative to the astronomy telescope, buying even the simplest binocular can be a great decision. It works just like one, but the important thing is you are able to save a significant amount of money.
