Telescope Buying Guide

whitney asked:


When I try to look through the telescope, it can only focus on close objects (as in a foot away). Objects that are further away are always blurry. I`ve tried different magnifications and adjusting the focus. Does anyone know how to correct this?

How does an x-ray telescope work? Everybody knows you can’t focus x-rays with lenses. Does an x-ray telescope use mirrors then? I’ve never heard of x-rays bouncing off mirrors either. How are the x-rays focused in the telescope?

Palash asked:


how can i calculate the minimum and maximum magnification of a telescope? i need it to determine the distance of the nearest & the far object it can make a clear picture. with this information i can determine how much i can allow the lense to move. pls help.
I wanted to know what is the range of distance a specific telescope can focus clearly. ie. the distance of the nearest object it can focus & distance of the farest object it can focus. It’ll help me to calculate how much i should allow the lens to move.

Hello-
I received a Baytronic Telescope as a gift and the instructions on just focusing the telescope are primative. Could someone please help me with a set up guide to focusing this telescope for viewing the Moon. I would love to view the Moon tonight.
Thanks, Bobby S
Also, on the front do you take off one small cover or both or the whole thing.
My mistake- On the front there is a small cover. Do you take this off or the whole front cover to view.
I am very new to this hobby as you can tell.
