Telescopes

Buy your first telescope online from Tejar.pk

Whether you’re buying a telescope as a gift or for personal use, knowing what features are worth the money is substantial if you are into stargazing. While a binocular or a monocular can be your first telescope, they won’t be able to teach you much about the night sky, even with a map.

If you have registered yourself for a stargazing event and currently looking for a telescope, consider the following tips for the best buy:

Decide on the requirements

Decide on the objects you want to view, your budget, the location, and the constellations you want to learn about. Do you want to use the telescope at the park, while traveling, or at home? Whatever model you buy should serve your stargazing needs. If you have little to no knowledge about the night sky, consider buying a highly magnified binocular with supporting accessories such as a tripod or a monopod.

Although you would find inexpensive options in the market, the experts suggest not compromising on the optical quality. Telescopes with low optical quality aren’t worth the purchase and are unable to spot distant stars and planets.

Consider only the important attributes of a telescope

If the price of the telescope in Pakistan is high due to good magnifying power, stay away from the advertisement as well as the brand. The most important feature in a telescope is the diameter of the lens or the mirror. A bigger lens collects sufficient light to show you fairly distant and fainter objects in the sky. For example, you can observe quite a few stars and planets with a telescope having 4 to 6 inches of diameter.

If you are buying the unit for your kid, ensure that it is virtually indestructible, easy to set up, and portable. You can find a wide range of telescopes that offer huge apertures on Tejar.pk.

Buy a telescope mount at a relatively low price

Invest your money in a telescope mount that is simply designed to point and adjust. Go for a sturdy and solid base to prevent shaky views during the sky observation hours. The electronic mounts are designed to follow the objects across the sky but they are quite expensive. If you are a beginner, it is best to buy a hand-adjusted mount. As you progress in the field, you can upgrade later.

It is best to set up the unit at home during the day so you can read the manual, gather all the pieces and adjust the alignment of the spotting scope with the telescope in a well-lit environment.

You can start discovering new stars and planets in the sky right away with the top-notch telescopes available only on Tejar.pk.
