Hey everyone! I'm new to astronomy and I've been thinking about getting my first telescope. I found this page on the Widescreen Centre website about beginner's telescopes (widescreen-centre.co.uk/beginners-telescopes.html). Has anyone checked it out? Any recommendations or tips for a newbie like me?
Hi there! I took a look at the page you mentioned, and it's a great starting point for beginners. The Widescreen Centre has a good selection of starter telescopes suitable for newcomers. The most important thing to consider is what you want to observe. Are you interested in planets, deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae, or both?
I agree with AnnaSokolski. Knowing what you want to observe will help narrow down your choices. Also, consider your budget. Telescopes can range in price, so having a budget in mind will prevent you from getting overwhelmed.
