Budget you need

A complete equipment include:

  1. Telescope
  2. Mount (usually with Gegengeswicht / s)
  3. Eyepieces
  4. If necessary, filter
  5. tripod
  6. other accessories as required


Starter Sets or beginner telescopes offer an affordable entry because in the beginning to get very good with a few simple eyepieces deal.

But in advanced interest you want to get the most out of his telescope and the respective conditions. A good eyepiece starts at about € 60.00 and often we wish specialized eyepieces which are then twice as expensive with a large field or high image quality. A useful Okularabstufung requires at least 5 eyepieces. A good diagonal mirrors for telescopes where people need such an example: refractor, costs from approximately € 100.00. A Amici prism for nature observation, there are 70.00 . Filter for deep sky observations as the UHC still costs time from 50,00 and so on.

For astrophotography, an accurate tracking of the mount and light-sensitive high-resolution cameras are needed.

Often it is not so easy to figure out on the production side, what suits one, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each telescope and what constitutes the technical or price gap.
This also depends strongly on the particular preferences and utilization goals User. If you want to view only now and then the moon, or on a regular basis to target deep-sky objects or even make long exposures.

That's why we see again and again how important is the individual advising our clients to create the right equipment and so long continued to have fun and interest in the hobby.
