About this deal

Star Walk 2 – an interactive star chart that allows you to explore the night sky and learn more about celestial objects.

The best time to explore the moon’s surface with a telescope or binoculars is when its disk is half lit (called the quarter moon), or when it’s a crescent. Pay particular attention to the boundary line between the sunlit side and the dark part of the disk. It’s along this region that you’ll see jaw-dropping views of long shadows cast by jagged mountain ranges and uplifted crater rims. Encourage children to imagine what it was like for Apollo 13 astronauts as they looked out their spacecraft at the moon below, as they orbited it more than 50 years ago. The National Geographic 60/700 AZ Refractor Telescope sports an altazimuth mount, which is very easy to set up and use for casual observation. Optical design The features included are also common to high-quality telescopes that collectively impact each telescope’s light-gathering ability, the field of view, and magnification. One of the most famous star patterns in the Northern Hemisphere is the Big Dipper, located in the constellation Ursa Major, which translates to “big bear” in Latin.The picture is JWST’s first shot at what astronomers call a deep-field image, when the telescope takes a long look at a tiny patch of space, collecting dim light and revealing extremely distant objects. As seen through the instrument’s sharp, infrared eye, that little patch is populated by swirling, glowing, gorgeous galaxies, some of which existed more than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was still a toddler.

Ideal for viewing the moon, planets and brighter deep sky objects during the night. You can also safely observe the sun during daytime using the included solar filter. What's more, it comes with its own smartphone telescope adapter, allowing youngsters to photograph what they see on their smartphones and share on social media. It is a good telescope for children as a starter. It was a wonderful birthday surprise for my grandson.” That doesn't mean you need break the bank however. Our list of the best telescopes for kids and children has options that will suit a range of budget, or you can skip down to the end to get more advice about buying a telescope second-hand. As you'll be observing outdoors, and potentially away from your home, bring mats, chairs and perhaps even sleeping bags and cushions so they can remain warm and comfortable both during and in between observing.Collimation is evenly aligning all optical elements in a telescope, making it a critical factor in achieving the best results. High magnification also means you will see a narrow piece of the sky so unless you are watching deep space with a large commercial telescope magnification is NOT an important feature. Also, note that a magnification of a telescope can be increased or decreased by switching eyepieces. Some vendors will try to promote a low-quality telescope by stating that it has a high magnification. Beware of these types of offers! The telescope will usually have either a small aperture or a very poor optical quality.
