Practical telescope for first time users


You might go through this telescope before in my shop: Bresser Skylux 70 AZ refractor.

No doubt the aperture is just as big as 70mm, slightly less than 3-inch. Although this is an entry level telescope, it's quite practical for first time users. In our country, there are many Chinese-made telescopes (of course China made, where else? I'm referring to the substandard ones) flooded in the market especially the roadside stalls. How do you differentiate the functionalities or optical performance of those telescopes with mine? Well, the design and outlook seem no big difference. But what my company provides are:
1) warranty
2) services
3) famed suppliers/factories
4) not "rejected" one

Choosing a telescope, aperture is generally the first thing. As said earlier, for first time users (who do not know how keen they are), this model could play a role to roll the users to try on different objects in either day or night. And I personally think this is good bargain as an outdoor equipment for a family when they hang out for nature. It's offered at RM699, complete with slow motion control mount and tripod, 3 powers eyepieces, finder scope and a software for beginners to learn about night sky navigation.

With this unit, your targets will be major planets (what are they? the major 5) and the Moon. If the sighting environment is dark enough, it's potential to explore star clusters.

For your information, Bresser is a German brand, selling optical instruments, including microscope.
