If you ever make a Best Telescope for under £200 ($250) then I recommend these 3 choices : - Orion StarBlast 102 - Meade Infinity 90 - SkyWatcher Heritage 130P (if you can get it at FirstLight Optics for around £190 then that's great)
@emranismail Bought it for $500. Old StarFinder in decent condition. Had to take it on his word the mirror is good. Said it gives sharp views of Jupiter. Missing some spacers between mirror and cell and mirror needs a cleaning, so first light will have to wait. Hoping next weekend.
@@millenialfalcon8243 right now im at a 10inch skywatcher but i really want a 14/16 truss tube dob. I just wish they made them without the goto cause i just dont enjoy using it
@@millenialfalcon8243what would you recommend for a pretty good telescope. I like to buy it nice over buying it twice. I want a pretty good one and not just some cheap thing. I dont know where to look either
Had a year of Astronomy in college. We took a trip to the Centerport Planetarium (NY) where they had a modest Observatory and I'll never forget seeing the rings of Saturn through a Pro level telescope
i managed to capture the Orion nebula with a £50/£60 25-75times60 spotting scope i am wanting a smart telescope but i dont get enough and can only afford bills and its difficult finding a job that i like here in the UK
It's hard to buy used scope as a beginner... I would love to see a video on how to properly evaluate a mirror, optic or? When we are at the seller's house on the daylight.
This. I’ve been using cheap binoculars to take pics of the moon and want to upgrade to a telescope but don’t know if I should buy used because what if it’s broken or dirty?
@@rorschach723 The best move you can do is find your local astronomy club. They will give you a lot of free and excellent advices and probably tell you where to search.
Just letting yall know… if you are a beginner I HIGHLY recommend getting something with an alt-az mount or dobsonian mount, as an eq mount would be very frustrating and a huge hobby killer.

To me it’s the astroMaster LT 60 it’s the best refractor and the mount is good and I can do astrophotography with it the first picture of nebula is of helix nebula in bortal 3 sky and with Barlow 2x I can see Jupiter colour band’s and moons and I saw with a high quality eye piece from Temu I saw the Saturn rings
Great advice, I myself use a 200mm Skywatcher Newtonian and 2x 102mm refractors for the moon and planets. Always use binoculairs as well, necessary tool to quick scan especially the condition of the sky. I also have the Bresser 127/1200mm refractor but I like the more compact 102mm, almost the same level of details, Skywatcher and Teleskop Service, not bad at all for the pricepoint. Advice from me: never buy expensive equipment if you are watching the night sky on monthly bases, just buy the scope between 300-700 and spend some money on better eyepieces, those things make a major difference. Barlow lenses, mehhh not great fan of them, takes away the crisp clearness of the image when watching visualy. Clear skyes everyone! ⭐⭐⭐
I like to take photographs of things I cannot see with a 6" telescope. So, I plate solve my to one of them and take a 30 second photo in hopes of spotting it. I then take at least an hour worth of exposures. So, my binoculars don't cut it.
You should try the sky watcher heritage 90 (the Maksutov) i bought it and i had a very pleasant surprise , ( it s a little more in the £350 range but it s a great telescope vor viewing the planets and the moon, you will get very sharp images( especially of Saturn’s rings
I started getting into astrophotography so i went out last night and i was taking pics of randon stars and i looked directly up and i seen the big dipper and its the the first thing throughout my space journy thanks to you
I haven't upgraded myself to any telescopes yet but I d9 have a pair of celestron skymaster binoculars the exact same ones at 4:34....they are fantastic for first time skywatchers before you go to telescopes.
Should be super early in the morning which means your window for observation will be very short. Yeah, binoculars would be your best bet. All the best!😁
you should try the meade polaris 114mm i have it and is so good, its not the cheapest but nor is it the most expensive and i would really like to see you use it as im currently struggling to get the orion nebula i think it might be due to pollution in my area tho 🙃
The larger telescopes of Meade's Infinity (90mm and 102mm) series are good too, they're both refractors so they're more crisp than potentially a 114 reflector

I love used scopes. I've scored $1000 scopes with $220 eyepiece kits for $250. Going to look at a 16in Meade Dob for $600 later today.
Lucky you, light bridge or star finder?

Bought an 8" donsonian used as a first scope, having a blast so far.
Are my ears ringing or everyone heard IPL theme at 0:49 ??
😂😂😂
Absolutely, astro binoculars are a great way to start. I have several telescopes, but I still enjoy using my Celestron binos.
Can you clearly see Saturn's rings through them? 🪐
Nice video. Your content is better than any channel with a million subs👍
Editing on this channel was always on TOP and surprise me many times, love it.
Thank you, that's very kind! 😊
What affordable telescope would you recommend for both planets and deep sky viewing?

Just adjust the eq mount to be on the 90° mark of latitude and you got yourself an alt az mount
Good advice about the binoculars. I love my fancy scope but rarely use it because it takes so long to set up.
man love your content btw people in india appreciate ur content
Thank you Damon!! It was very helpful for me
Glad it helped! 😁

can we get a video of objects you can observe through binoculars please :)
I think you can easily make a 8 inch Dobsonian (atleast in India) for a 100 dollars
New vid dropped 😱

I scored an 8inch Orion xt8 dob for 150 dorra second hand,
Ngl these videos are fire. It does help a lot of people who are tight on money.
Amazing. My dream is to look at a borttle 0 night sky
Pls i want see celestron nexstar 127mm there
sadly for me hte orion has gone and i wont see it until next fall
Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤
As always so informative Damian. Thank you
June 3rd, there’s supposed to be 6 planets inline. My young sons would like to see them.
Should I still opt for powerful binoculars ?
Should be super early in the morning which means your window for observation will be very short. Yeah, binoculars would be your best bet. All the best!😁
:o
What telescope would you recommend for a budget of £500 i mainly want it to look at jupiter and its moons more than anything else
I've just posted a new video that tackles exactly this 😁
Great vid Damon.
$? You don't do Sterling up north then?
2/3rds of my audience are from the US and India. The dollar is universal and, therefore, more understandable. 😁👍🏻

@@YuNg_Productions pretty decent. Like Damon said, buy second hand equipment.
@@hunter133official yee i am gonna buy a second hand cam
@@hunter133official tnx for the advice i appreciate it 🥺
Isn't that a refractor?
Refractors are the ones with glass lenses. Reflectors are the ones with mirrors.
