Most popular telescopes: what our customers are buying in 2026
This list is not an editorial selection but a sales list. Together, these ten models account for 40% of all the telescopes we sold this year, and those ten are listed here. The pattern is clear: on one hand, smart telescopes with built-in cameras; on the other, Dobson-style telescopes without any electronics. The middle ground—the classic telescope on a tripod—sells far fewer units. That says something about what people expect from a telescope in 2026: either a photo on your phone within fifteen minutes, or the most mirror for your money.
The smart telescopes
- ZWO Seestar S30 Pro: our best-selling telescope since its launch in May. Mosaic mode, 30 mm aperture, everything in the app.
- ZWO Seestar S50 Pro: the successor to the S50 with a 50 mm aperture and a larger sensor. ZWO does not mention the sensor type anywhere; we do, on the product page.
- DWARF 3dual camera, wide and telephoto, and the lightest package in its class.
- DWARF minithe entry-level smart telescope fits in a coat pocket.
- ZWO Seestar S50: no longer available, succeeded by the S50 Pro. The product page remains available as a reference for existing users.
The Dobsons
- Sky-Watcher Heritage-130P FlexTubethe tabletop Dobson that we most often recommend to beginners.
- Sky-Watcher Heritage-150P FlexTube: same base, 150 mm mirror.
- Sky-Watcher Heritage-150P Virtuoso GTi: the 150P with WiFi GoTo.
- Sky-Watcher Skyliner-150P Classic: 150 mm on a floor mount with a long brand focal distance for planetary observations.
- Sky-Watcher Skyliner-200P Classic: 200 mm, the size we consider the best all-rounder for visual observation.
Which of the ten suits you?
If you want photos without a learning curve, choose a Seestar or DWARF; the comparative advice is with smart telescopes. If you want to see with your own eyes and get the most value for your money, choose a Dobson; the advice per size is listed at Dobson telescopes. If you want both, the combination of a Seestar and a Heritage-130P is a logical set: one takes photographs, the other lets you look for yourself. The Choice assistant provides advice in four questions.
