What Is A Good Beginner Telescope?
The adage - you get what you pay for holds true in this case also. I have seen many cheap telescopes for sale that don’t do much. Yes, they ok to look at the Moon, but start trying to use them for planets or deep space objects, and the problem becomes known - they are no good for true astronomy!
The solution is to invest in a good telescope. These telescopes generally range in the price range of $150 to $500, and you also have those less than the $150, and those that reach skies the limit! Setting a budget is a great idea!
If it is your first telescope, and you want to do some backyard astronomy, then sticking around the $250 mark should result in you buying a good scientific instrument that will last for years.
