Buying your 1st telescope is no easy matter, after all you want the best. Read this article and buy the best 1st telescope.

Star telescopes are amazing instruments. Looking up to the sky on many occasions deep down you want to soon see more. A shining glimmer of light from a star is not enough, we want to see the beauty the universe contains. Your 1st telescope can be good or bad! Read my latest article on finding the right first home telescope for your home.

Before we take a deeper look at what kind of planetary telescope will be right for your needs, there is a couple of things I need to clarify:

1. The pictures on the planetary telescopes box is taken by a professional astro-photographer. You won’t see these kind of pictures with your planetary telescope.

2. When you look through a planetary telescope it will be in shades of black and white.

Think of the planetary telecsope box for your first home telescope as the pictures from fast food restaurants. The picture looks amazing in the picture, but the result is less than imagined. This can deter people thinking that planetary telescopes are not what they make out and that they should decide not to buy a first home telescope. This is not the case, after all we still love the fast food. Your first home telescope will still bring you amazing sights which are breathtaking.

One thing to keep in mind is the price and quality factor. In the last part I gave you an example of a fast food chain and the pictures. Now if you purchase your first home telescope for $100 or less, than realize that the quality of your first home telescope will not satisfy your desire to see the universe.

Those first home telescopes selling for less than $100 are great for looking at the moon, but will prove no use for any deep space viewing. The key to having the best first home telescope is to make sure your first home telescope has a strong mount, otherwise the image will shake everywhere, and you will not see much.

The best option is to go for a $200+ planetary telecsope for your 1st telescope. The price determines quality with planetary telescopes whether it is your first time planetary telescope or you are a seasoned planetary telescope user. And the most important parts that need quality is the planetary telescope mount, planetary telescope lens, and planetary telescope mirror.

The main items to look at when buying a planetary telescope are the two numbers that will tell you how well it is expected to work. For a great first home telescope, a listing of 20X50 is about average. This means the magnification will equal 20 times what you see with your eyes and the 50 is the width of the length, which is what determines how much light is gathered. The more light the better the image will be visible in the dark and for astronomy, all star gazing is typically done after dark.

A lot of the cheap planetary telescopes try to sell you on fancy gadgets. They look good to have on your new first home tellescope, but the truth is that these kind of features will be of no use. Consider on a $100 first home telescope that comes with loads of fancy gadgets, most of the money is going on those features. All you need to get started in astronomy with a first home telescope is to make sure more of your money goes on the planetary telescope mirror, planetary telescope mount, and planetary telescope lenses.

One last thing to consider before you buy your 1st telescope make sure you take into account the space your 1st telescope will need. It needs space to move around ;>. Good luck with buying your 1st telescope.
