Choosing which telescope to buy
When finding the best telescope to buy, it’s important to consider the following features:
Aperture
The aperture of a telescope, or the diameter of its lens or mirror, is the most important specification. The larger the aperture, the better is its ability to catch distant objects. However, larger aperture telescopes are less portable.
Types of telescopes
There are 4 types of telescopes you can choose from depending on what you want to view:
Reflector telescopes
Reflector telescopes use a combination of mirrors to form a brighter and clearer image of distant objects. They are best for viewing deep-sky objects like distant galaxies and nebulae.
Our recommended top selling reflector telescopes:
- Skywatcher 130 Az-gti Reflector Telescope / Goto Wif
- Celestron Starsense Explorer Dx 5'' Telescope
- Celestron Starsense Explorer Dx 130az Telescope
- Celestron Firstscope Signature Series Moon Telescope
Refractor telescopes
Refractor telescopes use a system of lenses to make distant objects look brighter. These telescopes are best for viewing the Solar System and its planets, the Moon and binary stars.
Our recommended top selling refractor telescopes:
- Skywatcher 70/700 Land & Sea Refractor Telescope
- Celestron Astro Fi 90mm Refractor Telescope
- Celestron Powerseeker 60az Refractor Telescope
- Celestron Starsense Explorer Lt70az Refractor Telescope
- Celestron Astromaster Lt 70az Telescope W Adaptor & Filter
Cassegrain telescopes
These are compound telescopes made of both mirrors and lenses. They can be used for viewing both deep sky and planetary observing.
Dobsonian telescopes
Dobsonian telescopes are a type of reflector telescope. They are ideally suited for watching dimly lit deep sky objects like dim star clusters and deep sky galaxies.
Our recommended top selling Dobsonian telescopes:
- Skywatcher Flextube 200p Dobsonian Telescope
- Skywatcher 3'' Tabletop Dobsonian Reflector Telescope
