::: What Can You See With A Telescope? :::
Planets - Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and some of the other planets in our solar system can be viewed with detail. Saturn shows us its rings, which made Galileo think that Saturn had ears many years ago! You can also see the moons of Saturn and Jupiter.
Moon - The moon offers many viewing opportunities, being so close to us, the Moon's craters can be viewed in great detail.
Distant Objects - The first home telescope, especially a good space telescope can show you great views of Nebula in the Orion constellation, and several galaxies in other parts of the heavens.
Your first home telescope can see much more space objects than the ones stated, however, this will help you realize the huge benefits in owning a first home telescope of your own. Please bear in mind that most department stores, toy store star telescopes may not show you any detail, even though it may say on the nice packaging.
::: How To Buy A Telescope? :::
A first home telescope is not one to gloss over, a space telescope after all is a scientific instrument. The best place to buy your first home telescope is either from a dedicated space telescope / astronomy store or online from a dedicated space telescope / astronomy retailer.
All too often people to satisfy the desire to view the objects in the sky, go out and buy any space telescope they can find. I can't complain as that is how I got my first home telescope. Soon after, I realized that that is not the best way to go. My first home telescope purchased from a department store was shortly relegated and never used again. The poor mount made turning the space telescope easy, but was no use with keeping the space telescope stable to view objects in space.
Most $150+ star telescopes can be a great first home telescope, especially if they have been purchased from dedicated space telescope sellers. Another benefit with going to a store that specializes in space telescopes, is that you can tell them about your hopes and aims of a space telescope, which will help them find a space telescope for your needs, rather than simply getting what %tf% is available.
::: Tips To Buying Your First Telescope :::
After years of looking up at the stars, I have a few tips for buying a space telescope. You will need to know where things are in the sky, so make sure you have a star atlas. Another tip I can offer you is to get the best space telescope you can afford, as these good quality star telescopes will be one which will last for years.
