Telescope lenses continue to pique the interest of sky watchers, both amateur and professional, due to their ability to open up night skies revealing the vast mysteries of our universe. From nebulae to galaxies, no celestial body is beyond the reach of a telescope lens. However, it’s imperative to understand that not all lenses are…

In the expansive space of our cosmic backyard, the solar system, each planet tells a significant story. Orbiting predictably around our Sun on paths defined by the laws of physics, these celestial bodies maintain fascinating patterns of motion and proximity to one another. Among the outer planets, Uranus and Neptune, both gas giants, are of…

Choosing the right telescope for your astronomical pursuits can be a daunting task. With numerous options available in the market, it’s essential to understand the key differences between telescopes to make an informed decision. In this article, we will compare two popular models from Celestron: the Astromaster 130EQ and the PowerSeeker 127EQ. Both telescopes are…

A telescope is a fascinating tool that allows us to explore the wonders of the universe. With advancements in technology, telescopes have become more accessible and affordable for amateur astronomers. One such telescope is the 130mm telescope, which offers a great balance between size and portability. In this article, we will delve into the capabilities…

A telescope has a lot to do with making memories for an amateur astronomy lover. But that thing does not come cheap.  And sometimes, your wallet may not accept paying the high price tag it comes for. But exploring the night sky can’t stop, right?  And so, you did your part of the research and…

Thinking about buying a telescope? Orion, Celestron, and Meade are the best telescope brands for the telescopes in the market. But which one of these brands is the best can be really difficult to determine. But as a telescope, there is not much difference between them. Although there are some features in them that could…

If you are into astronomy and want to see a clear view of the solar system, then you need a 70mm telescope. This telescope will offer good image of the object, which cannot be seen with naked eyes. You can also see the big planets with the help of this telescope. But viewing the small…

Telescope or binocular, both of them perform a similar role that is to view the object what is beyond our eyes. After the discovery of telescope by Galileo Galilei, the inventors were trying to invent something which is more accessible and comfortable for the public than the telescope. And thus they invent binoculars that are…

Since you’re into astronomy, you already have seen or used various kinds of optical tools. These tools enable us to view distant objects such as planets. Each tool has its distinct features and limitations; as a result, one is different than others. Let’s talk about two of such instruments – Telescope and Spyglass. Well, a…

Cleaning mirrors and lenses is not a difficult task, but it should be performed very much carefully. The key thing you must remember: clean, rub, but don’t harm. A telescope doesn’t contain so many things but a pair of lenses and a few other parts that are easy to control as well as clean. The…

A Refracting telescope, also called a dioptric telescope is used for seeing the distant objects. It uses the laws of refraction of light to make an image of the actual object and magnifies it so that it is visible to the observer. Refracting telescope is very easy to use due to its simple mechanism and…

A Dobsonian telescope is a Newtonian telescope that is modified by John Dobson in 1965. It is a large-scale telescope yet costs less which makes it popular for beginner astronomers for observing deep-sky objects. For more light collection it has a large diameter objective that has a small focal length. Also, Dobsonian telescopes are Altazimuth…

The planet Saturn has rings around it which make it more unique in our solar system. The rings are the reason for many astronomer’s curiosity. I am also very curious about it. So, I always search for a better way to examine the rings. Through my research, I learned something very interesting about what power…

The telescopes that can magnify images of a faraway object using lenses are called refracting telescopes. If you wish to look at starts and planets with a clear observation you have to use a refracting telescope. Using a reflecting telescope can be a bit tricky. So you have to know how it works before you…

Stargazing using a telescope is one of the most interesting and eye appealing things to do in the world. Watching the stars closely and knowing more about them is always exciting.
