Brian asked:


I really do not want to spend more than $300, but if I had to I could go a little higher?

Milton B asked:


New to astronomy. How do I make the telescope go up and down? It has controls for making SLIGHT corrections, but I can’t move it to view high overhead or down low towards the horizon.
Suggestions?

Alex asked:


I bough a new telescope and have a studied celestial maps. I tried to look at the Moon and I couldn’t see anything. I’ve just put everything together. The model is a Celestron Astromaster 76eq.

I need information on the refracting telescope for my school project. Please include a diagram (labeled) and description of how it works. Also, explain its uses in the world, and how are they useful. Finally, include references so I can refer to them later.

vnghy asked:


I need a portable telescope that’s easy to set-up and work as I am a rookie. Any suggestions for under a 1000 $ Cdn I’d appreciate your coments. There are two that I’ve been looking at, the Pronto & the Ranger? Any good?

Mommy to Sammy asked:


I just got it and cannot get it to see the stars or the moon. It came with a 10mm and a 20mm. I took it on vacation with me and can see other things through it such as the ocean across the street (about 350 yards from where I am staying) and other things, but not the moon or the stars. What mm should I purchase? Can any lens really work, or do I have to go by the name of the telescope? I didn’t know if they were universal.Thanks in advance.

For class we are doing a debate on Canada getting a space telescope. I am the Pro side and need to come up with reasons why Canada should build its own space telescope BY TOMORROW.
Please and thank you!
