Advice for Beginners

I found a very useful and interesting site the other day. The site is all about choosing a telescope and has lots of advice for beginners. You can find info. on just about anything related to telescopes. One of the many articles I found very interesting was the article on "How to get started and avoid failure".


HERE


Also I thought it would be nice if anyone who has experience with telescopes could leave some advice for beginners and let us know the different experiences you have had with certain telescopes.

advice for beginners is to read the theory manual first that how to use the telescope firstly, how to adjust the aperchure of the telescope, how to mount filters and so on. and you know the vaccum cleaner can pretty clean the glass and other parts of telescope to remove the dust particles over it, many time there are vapors rests on the glasses of telescope, that also has to clean up. first, to get a sharp look of the sky objects.
