Hi Everyone. One type of telescope I should've mentioned are the cassegrain scopes. These are also great for beginners. They are mirrored telescopes, but are a bit of a hybrid between a refractor and a reflector. Massive focal lengths in a very compact tube. You can find the Skywatcher Maksutov Cassegrains here... www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/maksutov-series.html And the Celestron Schmidt Cassegrains here... www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/nexstar-se-series.html

This is a great, informative video for someone like me who is just starting out! I was feeling overwhelmed on how to choose a telescope but this answered so much.

Very informative! I am a beginner in astronomy, this video is super helpful to organize my thoughts, its just all too much to grasp when you have no knowledge. More like it please.

You have covered all the points I was searching for the basics, thank you for this...

Your video is very easy to understand. The best I’ve seen about education for a beginner.

Thanks very much. This video answers so many of my most basic questions, and what’s more, begins to make me see what sort of questions I should ask next. Once I feel I have learned at least a fundamental understanding I will buy my first telescope.

Thank you.

Finally a person who can speak normally and to the point of what I want to know !

I just discovered this channel and I had no idea that RVO even had a channel. Excellent introduction into the beginner telescope market. Now subscribed 👍

What an absolutely superb beginners guide.

Okay so thank you so much for doing this vid, i think i'm gonna save a bit and buy the explorer 130m. I've been wanting to buy a telescope for a while now and you really helped with your info telling pros and cons and simply clearing stuff up. Thanks mate!

Thank you for sharing, I love looking up at the Firmament revolve over our heads.

Thanks for the very helpful video. I am saving hard and hope to buy my first scope from you in the next few months. More videos please !!!

Great advice! Very clear comparisons as well

Excellent advice for beginners 👌 i purchased the Celestron Nexstar Evolution 9.25" from you guys 🔭

This is the best video I’ve come across for beginners!

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzread.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

Great and concise video for beginner like us, keep the good work

Thanks. Informative and concise. Learnt a lot in a short time. Greatly sppreciated.

Extremely helpful video, I greatly appreciate!

Wow! Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. 🙏

You just sold me the Skywatcher Explorer 130P Reflector . Bought it after watching this 😊 hopefully I’ll have it in a week

Thank you for the video. I have to add that with higher magnifications, steadiness of the base becomes important. Cheaper scopes have bouncy bases. Also, it’s only when you reach the 100x magnification that earth orbiting starts interfering with the stars and planets racing across the screen. A motorized telescope moves with this orbital motion.

great video with clear explanations. Thanks!

Amazing video!!! Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so very much, watched the video all the way through, very informative!

Dude I love this video. Got me all excited to buy my first telescope!!

Wonderful information. Thank you so much!

I have been into astronomy for many years. My recommendation for a beginner is an 8" dobsonian reflector. Why? Simplicity. Price. They are simple to set up. They don't weigh too much. They are pretty good at viewing DSO's and planets. As a mid-sized scope, they give you a good idea of what your expectations should be be when viewing the sky with a backyard scope. Do you want to spend all of your time setting things up or actually looking at the sky? Also, unlike the goto setups, you can actually learn the sky with these simple scopes. Then, if you enjoy your dob, you can make a more educated decision as to what to get in a 2nd scope. If money is REALLY tight and you can't afford an 8" dob, go for a 6" dob.

Thank you so much for the video. This morning I unboxed a Sky Watcher explorer 130 M my first ever telescope (early crimbo present). The EQ2 mount has been a massive learning curve and the sheer size of the main tube is, for a total beginner, a bit intimidating. I will be watching more of these guides as the information is clear and concise and I'm sure I will feel less intimidated when I've set it up a few times. Thanks!

Thanks very helpful

Thank you for your very helpful video. When I read the news about a green comet approaching earth for the first time in 50,000 years, I have decided to buy my first telescope and track the comet. I’m not sure how to find the planets/objects in the sky with or without a telescope. I was wondering if you have any instructions or reading list for beginners on how to find the planets? I can only find the sun and the moon sometimes but not any other planet.

Great video for starting out. Easily the best I've watched. Thanks.

Edmund Scientific Astroscan 2001 is a good first scope. This video is good!

Gracias muy buena explicación, bendiciones.

Great video 🇦🇺

Hi, thanks a lot for putting it so clear for beginners like myself. I've just bought a Bresser 60/700 telescope and it looks the same as Skywatcher Mercury 607 Telescope. What would you recommend where to start to get a bit more acquainted on the matter and what to know before trying to see something "readable" in the sky. Thanks again.

Excellent thank you. I am battling with the AZ mount, once I locate a star or planet I tighten the adjustment screws and it makes the scope move ever so slightly and I am then off the located object. I guess I'm learning but wonder if anyone else has the same issue?

Great video man! Very educational. As a beginner who never possessed a relescope O learned a lot and ready to get my very first telescope using your links Inshaa ALLAH. Goood job and keep it up.

Cassegrain scopes are reflectors which are viewed from the bottom and are often used with a diagonal.

thank you very good.

Thank you so much

I like your desktop. Interesting.

Thanks a lot👍😄

Thank you, this is a really helpful video. Did you make a video that gave more detail about setting up the two different mounts. I was given a telescope a couple of years ago. National Geographic refractor 90/700000 with a complicated mount which I have no idea how to use/calibrate.

Thanks. Could you tell me if the telescope suffers a lot of damage if I want to observe from the seashore? I say this because of the salinity that can affect the lenses. Is there a trick to protect it and be able to go anyway?

Thanks, i really love astromomy but i got away from it since I can't see the stars at night but i dreamed about me having 2 telescope checking out the moon, and that makes me wanna check out the space again.

Omg your voice is the voice of John Lennon! Amazing vídeo still watching

I recommend binoculars at least 10 x 50 to start and and attend star party's with your local Astru club,you can learn your way around the sky and what kind of observing you want to do and learn about telescopes first hand and go from there !!!
