Welcome to Telescopes Reviews

Whether you are new to astronomy or more experienced you are in the best place for some help in choosing your next telescope.

If you are looking to buy a telescope as a gift for someone then the reviews will help you to make a decision.

The advances in optical technology in recent years have been of great benefit to the amateur astronomer – the quality and range of scopes is better than ever. The development of compact telescopes has been fantastic for skygazers looking for portable, easy to use instruments.

However, the downside is the sometimes bewildering choice of brands and different types of telescope on the market. This is especially true for beginners looking to buy their first scope who can really benefit from non-technical telescopes reviews

On this site we will review the most popular telescopes and give an honest opinion about them. We may also be reviewing other equipment and software in the future.

Restricted Budget?

If your budget is less than $50 and you are keen to get started straight away, I recommend the Celestron Firstscope. This telescope also makes a great present for young astronomers.

A Starter Telescope?

If you are just getting started and are looking for a good all-round telescope, I recommend the Orion SkyQuest XT8. This is a very popular telescope with beginners.
