Catch a falling Star With a New Refracting Telescope

New website gets people near to the stars and the moon, offering help to choose the
best telescope.

ARIZONA, Refracting Telescopes uses a lens to gather light and bring the image to
the eyepiece. These are the type of instruments that most people think of when they
think of a telescope. They are fairly maintenance free and generally provide superb
images of the moon, planets, star clusters and general sky gazing. A new website,
"Refracting Telescopes" has appeared to help people get closer to the stars in the
sky and enjoy the marvels of the space. Olga Trinity, owner of the site explains
"They tend to be smaller in aperture than other types so they are not as good for
viewing fainter sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae. Good quality refractors
tend to be expensive." She adds "Beware of cheap refractors! If you're just starting
out and you're looking to buy your first telescope, a refracting telescope with a
60mm refractor would be a good choice for the amateur astronomer."

The Meade 60mm-diameter refracting telescopes are well suited for the novice astronomer. However, if someone wants a larger telescope, then the Meade ETX series or DS2000 series is recommended. Larger refracting telescopes will enable the study of stars and planets in much greater detail, the ETX Astro Telescope and Model 4500 are excellent recommended choices for the beginning amateur astronomer. The intermediate-level observer, or the non-casual telescope user who wishes to purchase one telescope for a lifetime, should consider a Meade Model LXD55 series, 8LX90, or LX200GPS. It is an uncommon observer who will require a telescope of larger than 8" aperture for any astronomical or terrestrial studies.

"Those who have not had the opportunity to look through a quality, refracting
telescope have no idea of what is out there within our solar system. Many think that
a telescope capable of showing the rings of Saturn will cost more money than they
are willing to pay, are wrong." Says Trinity. There are many good quality amateur
telescopes out there that can observe our solar system plus a wide range of
celestial objects. Finding objects for observation in the telescope requires only a
modest knowledge of the sky, a knowledge that can be quickly and easily obtained
from inexpensive Star Charts, or from Autostar Suite astronomical software, perhaps
the easiest means for learning the sky. Or if you like bugs, you can observe
insects on a flower from 25 feet. Depending on your choice of refraction telescope,
there are no limits on what you can look at and study. Your only limits are of your
own making.
