Thinking about buying a telescope?
Well that can be pretty intimidating especially for a first time
buyer. Once you find what you want, it can be most rewarding. It is
an excellent fun cheap family activity that can lead you to a strong
passion for the science. It can start your children on a path to
being an engineer or physicist. Why not get started right? Well we
have what you need!
You will need a map to the stars and
not the kind you get from a guy off of a Nevada street. You need a
map to see where different stars are. It isn’t essential but will
be invaluable when looking for something specific. Imagine wanting to
look for city street on a globe, because that’s what you will find.
Space is massive and having that star atlas will come in handy!
Obviously you going to want that
telescope. Telescopes are extremely specialized scientific equipment.
It works by taking light that you may not be able to see, and focuses
it in a way that you can see an image in far greater detail. Time to
buy your first scientific instrument will begin your trip into the
science of astronomy.
Where do you find one? Well to be
honest, your best bet is the internet (I am not trying to sell you
telescopes, don’t worry). You can find the best savings through the
internet. We recommend a budget of around $200 to $300, The best ones
to look for while starting off are Meade, Orion, and Celestron
telescopes. Telescopes tend to last for years and years, so it is
more of an investment.
Using a notebook is definitely a good
idea. You can draw what you see and reference the same spot later.
You can records places you’ve seen and observe the changes in
Jupiter and Saturn!
Just remember to have fun and learn.
It can offer hours of entertainment as well as be an excellent hobby
for the kids!
