Looking for a Beginner's Telescope? Let us help You!

We understand that choosing a telescope can be overwhelming, so we've compiled everything you need to know about a Beginner Telescope in one easy to read place! We have also compiled, what we like to call the 'OZScopes' Complete Guide to Telescopes and Binoculars'. In this guide, we have down the basics of telescope uses and its functions into simple chapters.

In Chapter 1, you will read about the main uses of a Telescope so you can determine if a telescope is really what you need to buy. Moving further along, you will learn about the three basic types of Telescopes and about their advantages and disadvantages. The third chapter might also be of interest to a beginner - understanding the types of mounts available for your Telescope and how they work.


These three chapters should help you make an informed first-telescope purchase, and if did decide you wanted to find out more, go on to the later chapters, where we introduce you the world of telescope accesories, and viewing techniques! If you're ready to choose a telescope, then we have featured a few right here to suit your needs!
