What is the best telescope for kids and beginners?
The best telescope for kids and beginners depends on several factors, including their age, skill level, and budget. For young children, a simple and sturdy telescope that's easy to use is ideal. The Gskyer Telescope, 70mm Aperture 400mm AZ Mount Astronomical Refracting Telescope for Kids Beginners, is a great option in this category. This refracting telescope has a carry bag, phone adapter, and wireless remote, making it convenient for kids to explore the night sky.For older children or beginners who are willing to learn more about astronomy, a more advanced telescope with better optics may be suitable. Consider telescopes with higher aperture sizes (e.g., 80-100mm) or more complex features like computerized mounts and smartphone adapters. Some other factors to consider when choosing the best telescope for kids and beginners include ease of assembly and use, weight and portability, and the ability to view a wide range of celestial objects, including planets, stars, and galaxies.
How does an AZ mount work on a refracting telescope?
An AZ (Altazimuth) mount on a refracting telescope is a type of mount that allows for smooth and easy movement in both altitude (up/down) and azimuth (left/right). This makes it ideal for beginners and casual astronomy enthusiasts who want to explore the night sky with ease.The AZ mount works by using a combination of gears, motors, and counterweights to smoothly track celestial objects as they move across the sky. The telescope's tube is attached to the mount via a dovetail or fork design, which provides stability and secure support for the optical instrument. With an AZ mount, you can easily adjust the position of your refracting telescope to follow planets, stars, and other celestial bodies in real-time, making it perfect for observing targets like the Moon, bright planets, and double star systems.
