If you have come this far it is because you want to get started in the world of astronomy and there is nothing better than starting with the purchase of a telescope .

Before choosing your first telescope we would like to explain a little about the different types of telescopes to help you make a decision.

Our brands of telescopes for beginners are divided into 2 types of telescopes: reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes .

Reflecting telescope

Also known by the name Newtonian telescope , it is much shorter and wider because it uses internal mirrors, it is ideal for observing the deep sky such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.

refractor telescope

Popularly known by the name of the Galilean telescope , this is elongated and uses lenses inside, it is ideal for making terrestrial observations, spotting planets and seeing the moon.

Now that you know the differences and what they are recommended for, it is time to take a look at the telescope options we have for beginners. You can go to the telescope store by clicking here.
