Stargazing Buyer's Guide

In our stargazing buyer's guide, we'll guide you step by step to find the right telescope. Based on your preferences - from planetary details to deep-sky - we'll show you the models that best match your needs.

How to choose the right magnification? We'll explain which combination of telescope and eyepiece you need. Use this formula:

Magnification = telescope focal length ÷ eyepiece focal length

However: more isn't always better. Higher magnification makes the image darker and more sensitive to vibrations. A well-balanced combination - for example, a 70 mm aperture with a 10 mm eyepiece for 70x magnification - often produces the best image.
