We at Teleskop-Service have the selection and also the expertise to accompany you a small piece of your "astronomical way". By answering the following questions you give us a good guideline. We can then recommend an instrument that is tailored to your situation.

The most important questions to ask when choosing your first astronomical telescope:

What do I want to observe or have I not yet decided?

What is the sky like - more suburban or urban or very dark - in the middle of the country?

Am I observing from a balcony, or do I have the open sky above me?

How old am I? Very young and old people may be less vigorous, the pupil of the eye gets smaller over time.

How important is observing objects on Earth to me (nature watching, bird watching ...)?

How often do I have to transport the telescope to get to the observation site - possibly also

transport by car?

How important is photography for me, do I want to photograph the celestial objects in the short or medium term?

What do I want to invest for telescope and accessories?
