I want to buy my boyfriend a telescope for his birthday. He is turning 25 on Feb 12 and he loves anything that has to do with space and earth. He is a beginner on telescopes, but i want to buy him a really cool one that is easy to use and at a reasonable price. A telescope that you can see the planets with would be nice, like Saturns rings, and other cool things as well.

Betafett asked:


My new telescope has piqued my curiosity–More specifically, why is it that when looking into the eyepiece we don’t see the cross shaped mount for the diagonal mirror (or the mirror itself?) in the image? I can’t get my head around the problem and it’s been so long since I did optic physics that I’ve pretty much forgot how it all worked….

I’m new at this whole amazing thing and I am quite a beginner at this telescope thing. There is this website (very reliable) where you can bid or buy stuff and this one guy is selling this 102×500 SkyWatcher f/5 telescope for only NZ$30. Is this a good telescope to begin with?

Thanks

melicious asked:


Read an article on line about this and I am not sure I understand how it works; the article actually referred to the telescopes ability to photograph “back in time” and it lost me completely. I mean, does the telescope view what’s out there now and calculate backwards to come to a conclusion as to what the universe was like then? Anyone who can shed light, please do.
