Christmas Gifts - A Beginner Telescope
November 30th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Just a word of advice - do your Christmas shopping early this year for the best selection of beginner telescopes. With a surprisingly strong showing at the retail stores on “Black” Friday, the more popular beginner and kid telescopes will be selling out soon.
Check out the recommended beginner telescopes from Amazon — they do have a great selection of name brand telescopes and their shipping costs are generally quite reasonable. In most cases, they have lower shipping costs than most of the specialty optics stores. In fact, many of the recommended telescopes qualify for their FREE Super Saver shipping, but you must buy early to assure these Christmas gifts arrive before December 25.
So, don’t disappoint your young astronomer because you waited too long to purchase their Christmas present - a brand new telescope. Shop early and make sure everyone has a Happy Holiday!

A Kids Telescope To Expand Your Youngster’s Universe
October 5th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
If your young star gazer seems to have a fascination with the stars and planets, consider buying them a beginner telescope. We are not talking about a toy or a pirate’s plastic telescope, but a real quality telescope designed specifically for novice star gazers. Now it is important to choose a telescope that allows for optimal viewing of celestial bodies while providing a clear magnified view of your targeted celestial bodies. A telescope that has these capabilities will provide for a more positive experience for your star gazer and heighten their interest in the world of astronomy .
What Type of Child Telescope Should You Consider?
With fewer moving parts and a simplistic, well-crafted design, the refracting telescope design has been highly recommended by some experts as one of the best beginner telescopes. Others believe that an easy-to-use reflecting telescope is the better telescope for novices. In making your decision, a good source of information is the telescope reviews found on many online telescope websites. But, whatever your choice, select the model that is tailored for new telescope users and one that can be set-up quickly and can be aligned and operates easily.
While a child telescope cannot offer custom or state of the art optics, ones from reputable manufacturers are generally quite satisfactory. A word of warning though — It is generally best to avoid “department store” telescopes. These are generally of lower quality and designed for mass production at the expense of quality.
Why You Should Start with a Child Telescope
The reasons we suggest that you start on a smaller scale is that you want to avoid the frustration of attempting to use an advance telescope without training and experience. A beginner telescope will afford you with a great number of opportunities to view the stars and planets while you learn the basics of stargazing. The cost of a child telescope can vary from two hundred to twenty five hundred dollars, but we would suggest that you look for telescopes in the $300 to $600 price range.
So if your novice astronomer is ready to start on their journey to the stars, take a “right” at the Sea of Tranquility and fly yourself into deep space by visiting the Crab Nebula. Its really easier than you think, thanks to the strong magnification , precision optics and simple operating controls of the child telescope .

The Bible says the heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands (Psalms 19:1). You don’t have to be religious for the night sky to grab your attention and wonder. Many of us settle for simply looking into the night sky, unaided by the superb technology available to us. That’s a shame. There are many great choices for the backyard astronomer, let’s consider what the high quality Celestron NexStar series has to offer.
Keeping in line with the Celestron’s tradition of quality and performance, the NexStar SE series combines state-of-the-art features with the classic orange tube technology, a computerized system for operations, upgradeable hand control, premium StarBright XLT coatings, the SkyAlign alignment technology and other features.
New to the night sky? No problem, just choose any object in the menu and the telescope automatically finds it for you. With the NexStar technology, the scopes have the amazing ability to find almost 40,000 objects. All you need to do is choose and view. That’s hot.
Not sure what to look at? Then let the NexStar SE show you the way! The NexStar’s “tour” feature offers a list of the best objects to view with regards to your exact location and time. It’s like a field trip through the sky, without that annoyingly perky tour guide, of course.
Forgot to read your Astronomy text? Yeah, so did I. The NexStar does more than show you the sky, it tells you about every object you pass by. Information on the object can be viewed from the LCD screen on the telescope. This feature makes it an ideal child telescope or beginner telescope.
Each NexStar SE includes the Level 1 Planetarium software of The Sky. This program allows you to explore the night sky on your computer and even print out customized star charts. Aside from The Sky, the NexStar SE also includes a NexRemote software that will allow you to control your telescope through your computer, upload images, publish them online, and send them to your friends.
Bottom line - the new NexStar SE is simple and easy to use. You can set it up in a matter of minutes with the user-friendly instruction manual. With the SkyAlign system, you don’t even have to know the stars before you can find them. Of course, after using it for a while, you’ll be an expert and you won’t even need the guides!
