A telescope is an optical device that helps amateur astronomers see space objects that are too far away to be seen with the naked eye. Telescopes come in all shapes and sizes, but they all work on the same basic principle: they use lenses or mirrors to collect light from distant objects and focus it into an image that we can see through the eyepiece.
Telescopes can be used to observe everything from individual stars and planets to distant galaxies and nebulae. In the below articles, I address some of the most frequently asked questions about telescopes and provide some advice on how to get started using one. I hope you find this information helpful!
