Which telescope is best for you? Me and my fellow astro geeks reveal the best budget telescope, the best telescope for observing, the best telescope for astrophotography and the best telescope all-rounder.

WARNING DO NOT BUY the Celestron 80mm travelscope even though it looks the same as my top budget pick. It is not.

You have the production quality of a professional TV series.

Hi I'm a 12 years old and really like your videos you inspired me to get in to the hobby and now I got an 4, 5" newtonian telescope🙃 I hope there are more people that get inspired by you and see how fun the hobby actually is 👍😊

The "best" telescope depends on what you want to do. Personally, I prefer Dobs because I can set it up and start viewing long before anyone else. They also allow you to learn the sky. Intelligent mounts are great, but they take away the fun of accidentally coming across a distant double star while hunting for a DSO.

4:43 I was surprised that a lot of stars on my screen were not moving at all when you were zooming in. Then I started to appreciate how large our universe is. 2 seconds later, I found out that those "stars" are actually dust. Not stardust, just dust on my screen...

Your videos are both entertaining and informative. I find what you're able to get out of all your "budget-setups" most impressive. Keep doing videos, you have a talent for this!

This feels like I'm watching a TV series and I love it the production quality is amazing and the video was entertaining the whole way through and got me so interested and hyped for my telescope. Can't wait!!!

I feel like binge-watching all your videos. They are like MKBHD reviews or perhaps even better with the subtle jokes and funny moments. Phenomenal stuff !

In June 1992 I completed work on my 10" f/6 Dob with mirrors by the NASA optical wizard Paul McCoy. This served well until I got old and also was dealing with cancer for a couple of years (2010-13). The Dob is a world class scope, but really to heavy for me to drag out now except for really special occasions. So, in 2011 I downsized and got a Tele Vue NP101 which I'm sure is as good as any other 4" refractor in the world. This has been a lot of fun as a visual instrument: I don't feel the need to do astrophotography. In June 2020 I decided to spend my Trump Bucks on a Tele Vue 76 which is absolutely grab and go, unlike the NP101, which takes about 15 minutes to set up, versus three minutes for the TV 76. Since June 1992 I have logged 935 observing sessions and hope to reach 1000 before I croak.

If you are young and strong, get the 10" like the young lady said. If you have $4000 (once you throw in the tripod and alt-az head) the Tele Vue Nagler-Petzval design cannot be beaten by anything. If you have $1800 and want a real grab and go, the TV 76 is fabulous. You can get a perfectly good three inch refractor for about a thousand dollars less, but if you do a lot of observing and develop the sensitivity to actually see the difference, I say, why not have the best?

Me: I need this scope.
My wife: OK.
A few months later: I need this scope, too.
Wife: OK.
A few months later: I also need this scope.
Wife: Wait, what? Why?
Me: Because different scopes are good for different things!
Wife: Yeah, right.
Me: No, really! I swear! Also...I need a better pair of binoculars.

You should be sponsored by NG for a documentary series.
Sir, you are too good for YouTube!

This is the reason I love YouTube. People I never heard of creating fantastic and interesting videos and giving free advice for the love of it. I’ll be back! Thank you.

I've just found you fella through recommendations on Facebook forums, having bought my first scope about 4 weeks ago with my lad who is also space mad - and you are not just technically excellent, but a natural presenter - you really should be on 'TV'!

Recently bought my first scope after being inspired by your videos, and it just so happens to be the same as Rick's, 90mm skywatcher heritage virtuoso Mak 🙂 ...with the addition of the wifi adapter (£50) and free phone app I now have it working as a goto....so far managed to get some reasonable pics of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars using a cheap Svbony cam, just waiting for the clouds to clear over Suffolk to get some more nights out there...so much fun! 😊
