The thing with reflector based systems is that there lenses for the most part tend to be exposed. This means that they are a lot more susceptible to being covered in dust even when a dust cap is worn to minimise it. In turn this of course means that they will need to cleaned as … Read more
If you want to learn how you can view Mars through a telescope, this article is a great place to start. Within not only will we be breaking down how to see Mars with a telescope but also how to locate the planet, the equipment necessary to view it and what’s worth checking out once … Read more

Collimation of a telescope is something you’ll need to do on a regular basis, especially with reflection optics, namely the Newtonian reflector. These types of telescopes are actually a lot easier to collimate than the information on it it would lead you to believe. Collimation is simply put the process of realigning the mirrors within … Read more
