Can you guys suggest some good telescope to start with? I am at beginner level for this but very much interested in seeing planets with my eyes.
Any help will be appreciated.
If it matters, I am in India.

Thanks.

    * Don't go for anything with less then 5" Objective lens.

    * I prefer a Newton reflector. If space and weight isn't a constraint, you can always go for Refractor types. Refractors are generally cheaper.

    * Go for equitorial mounts. Difficult to initially setup but must if you want to manually record some timelines, or following a celestial body. Alt azimuth mount is easy to setup and good for observing something for shorter period of times.

    * Celestron, Meade and Orion are good brands in normal price ranges.

    Dm me. I can send you a ppt of a lecture I attended. It has basics of selecting a telescopes, major types of telescopes, mounts, and basics of Astronomy.

    Hope this helps.

    Use a binocular instead, all entry level scopes are comparable to binoculars. Start to make difference when you can throw in big bucks

  • I don’t know much, but I think the standard beginner recommendation of an 8” dobsonian is too big and bulky and hard to handle for most people. So don’t do that
