Recently got a new telescope and I’m excited to try it out. I live near the airport in Orlando though so anywhere near my house has a lot of light pollution. Does anyone know of a good spot with 30 minutes of Orlando where I could go and try it out? Looking for somewhere safe and legal.

I plan on buying a telescope, after observing the sky for quite some time with binoculars. My budget however is kinda small so I plan on buying a used reflector telescope(skywatcher 8′ dobsonian), but i must first ensure that it is in good condition. What should I check and how to make sure that it is working correctly?

How should I clean the mirrors of my telescope?

I have a telescope; its mirrors are a bit dirty and I’m not sure how to clean them properly. Lenses, too.
Does Windex work just as well?

One in a million asked:


My boyfriend has wanted a telescope for years, and I think it would be the perfect birthday presents- however, most of the ones I have looked at are several 100 dollars, and I have no experience with telescopes, so finding an inexpensive one of good quality would be hard for me.

Do you know where I can find one?

[I would prefer to spend 100-200 dollars]

I am willing to pay good money for a great telescope, how much is that?
