Find the perfect telescope for your needs!

Choosing a telescope can be a complex task given the many options available. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced amateur, this guide will help you select the ideal telescope based on your needs.

Factors to Consider

Aperture

The aperture, measured in millimeters (mm), determines the amount of light the telescope can capture. The larger the aperture, the more detailed the images.

Examples: Sky-Watcher 200mm, Sky-Watcher 150mm, SVBONY 90mm.

Maximum Load

The maximum load supported by the mount is crucial, especially if you wish to add accessories like cameras.
Examples: NEQ5, EQ3-2.

Tube Material
The material of the tube (aluminum, carbon, etc.) influences the durability and weight of the telescope.

Mount Type

Equatorial mount (EQ): ideal for astrophotography.

Azimuthal mount (AZ): easier to use for beginners.

Drive Type

Manual drive: cheaper, but requires frequent adjustments.
Motorized drive: more precise, ideal for tracking celestial objects.

Polar Finder
Useful for polar alignment, crucial for astrophotography.

Tripod

The stability of the tripod is essential to avoid vibrations.

Use

Planetary observation: prefer telescopes with long focal length.

Deep sky observation: prefer telescopes with large aperture.
