I'm going to sleep over it a day or 2 and in the weekend I'm just going to order something that I get a good feeling about. I don't want to make "the wrong choice" by fear of losing interest in something I've dreamed about over 30 years. Pick something on or off your list and then enjoy it! A year later you will certainly want something different - and that's OK! Tom The most common beginner mistake is to buy way too much at the start and then get frustrated trying to use it. The best path is to get something modest and use that to enjoy the stars and practice observing. I'd say you've done enough homework already and are reluctant to condense the list or decide, for fear that you will somehow make "the wrong choice". a reasonable allowed time might be a month or so. With something like a hobby telescope kit. (A minute?) and then grab one and march yourself up to the checkout counter and home to the wife. The way out of this rut is to set yourself a decision time. This creates the "stickleback dilemma" where you choose nothing because you're evaluating too much. Cow, goat, % fat, flavors, soy, almond, expiration date, brands, price, container design. It's like when you go to the store to get "a quart of milk" and then discover that there are ten or twenty different kinds of milk. Massive thanks in advance from an excited but newbie telescope user.Įdited by RKoornneef81, 02 September 2021 - 01:30 AM.īecause there are too many choices. If this is the case I can always look for the same scope on different locations. Lastly, I imagine some of the scopes be (way) more expensive than supposed to. I know that most of the scopes come with standard equipment that will require replacing in the near future but that is not a problem as long as this is possible for the specific telescope. I would really appreciate some expert opinions on these scopes like which one is absolutely rubbish, which ones are decent enough to start with. Maybe I'm overthinking everything but I do not want to get in a situation where I either spend a lot on a scope that doesn't suit me, or don't spend enough and it doesn't suit me I understand this might be a lot of different scopes but they all seem to fit within my requirements. National Geographic Reflector Telescope 114 x 900 - Ĭelestron SCTW-80 Antireflection Coating HD Zoom Telescope. Orion 10022 StarMax 90mm TableTop Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope - Ĭelestron - PowerSeeker 80EQ Telescope.

Zhumell Z100 Portable Altazimuth Reflector Telescope - Ĭarson SkySeeker Newtonian Reflector Telescope. So without further ado, here is the list of scopes I have shortlisted in no particular order: Portability is quite important since I would like to travel with it to distant places where the skies are dark. If I like the hobby I would spend some more to really get amazing views.īecause I'm an absolute beginner I do not want to spend more than +/- 500 dollar, but I would still like the best for my money. I would like to be able to see some DSO's as well but it is of lower priority (for now). I want to use my telescope to see the moon in great detail, see the planets (Saturn and Jupiter mainly) well enough to distinguish the moons, rings and as much as possible. I see that this is the first question that needs to be answer. I don't know enough to make a decent decision so consider the following below, which of these scopes is a good buy (and which are not). And although I have received numerous good advice and opinions it actually made my choose seem harder. For a while now I have been looking and gathering information on what telescope to buy as my first hobby project. Sorry to bother everyone but I could really use some expert opinion. Beginner here to ask the question asked most.
