SeeStar S50

[drifting jewel]

Am looking to get into astrology and looking for something simple but also can see cool things.

Ah yes, very gud for astrology

Some people from my local group got S50s. They are very happy with it. Of course you won't get the perfect image for everything but it's easy to use, you get it set up in minutes and you can carry it in a backpack. If you're not looking for the perfect image, it's totally fine.

Few images from the guys 🙂

Wow nice images also Thank you very much! Got any recommendations for anyother budget telescope I can get?

[frank socket]

Hmmm honestly, no I'm far from up to date on telescopes.

It all depend on what you expect though

if you want to take pictures of planets, you won't go for the same scope as if you are going for deep sky nebulaes

also depend if you want to do only visual observation, assisted visual or pure astrophotography.

and what you consider being "budget" too

[drifting jewel]

I think I want to go mostly astrophotography and some visual. And for budget I was thinking about 500 where the seestar s50 is at.

[frank socket]

then I think the S50 is the best bet

just keep in mind that it's a "closed" circuit. You won't be able to upgrade its capabilities at all or anything

but at this price, it's honestly a good small scope in my opinion.

Ok thanks you very much on the help and if you got any recommendations of telescopes please message me.

I’m guessing you meant “astronomy”, and not “astrology”?
