Telescope accessories - Aug 28, 2007

One of the most common questions I get from customers when they purchase a telescope is, "What telescope accessories should I by?" The first thing you should buy for any telescope is more or better telescope eyepieces. Better telescopes come with only one eyepiece and you need more than one eyepiece for astronomy, since different objects require different magnifications and, hence, different eyepieces. On less expensive telescopes, you often need better quality eyepieces, since the eyepieces provided are usually of fairly low quality. I like eyepiece kits, even though you sometimes get more than you need or can use to good effect in an eyepiece kit. Kits are a good way to get started and will give you the experience you need to make decisions about more expensive eyepieces. One of my favorites has been the basic Meade Celestial Observer kit, which complements not only many Meade telescopes, but also many other brands of beginner telescopes.
