I was asked just yesterday, ‘Okay Pop, so you’ve hooked my on this star gazing narcotic, what about buying a telescope to feed my habit? What is it going to take to get the best.
While I’m working on my next article/lesson plan (Optics 102), with a subject of types of telescopes for learners, I was fascinated that my reader thought he had an endless stream of cash to feed his new longing. Seriously folks, while the Cassegrain is considered the ideal construction (and in my opinion it is as it contains the best of both telescope worlds) the price one must pay as a beginner is just out of this world.
And while it is as simple to vend as in my own inventory, I don’t suggest such a splurge my friend the beginner. Look for quality sure, but keep your pocketbook in line at this point in time. There are many products out there to align yourself to the learning process at this point.
