While stargazing is great, there's nothing like unlocking the wonders of the night sky with a telescope. And while I've shared a few other posts about telescopes at different price points (from $200 to $2000, and the best options under $1000), it helps to know multiple options at given lower price points...

As you get more interested in astronomy, you might find yourself wanting equipment to level up your stargazing experience. After all, while our eyes are great tools for exploring the wonders of the night sky, they're also severely limited. That's why we spend literally billions of dollars to launch space telescopes like Hubble, Spitzer, and Webb... And why people invest in telescopes right here on earth...

When you just start out as a stargazer, there's a literal universe to discover. And initially, you can make many discoveries by just using your own two eyes and finding a good stargazing spot with dark skies. But as your interest in astronomy increases, you might want to increase your viewing power and invest in some equipments to unlock the deeper secrets of the solar system and beyond...

There's something magical about that first time you look through the eyepiece of a new telescope. Maybe you suddenly see the rings of Saturn, or admire the dusty tail of a passing comet, or a distant star cluster that suddenly pops into focus. Telescopes are a big step in your stargazing journey, as is upgrading when it comes to that point...

Making an investment in a telescope is a big decision. Whether you're just starting out or ready to upgrade, there are lots of features and factors to consider. One of the most important considerations is price; the next is ease of use to unlock the mysteries of the universe at whatever level you can afford...

We all know: there's not much better than spending an evening enjoying the night sky. One thing that is better is falling asleep under the stars – though it's admittedly not easy to find a place to sleep with an unobstructed view. That's where stargazing tents come in. They allow you to have the least amount of interference between your eyes and the stars overhead while still being safe and secure overnight...

There's nothing quite like the feeling of receiving and unboxing a brand new telescope. Whether it's your first one, or an upgrade, it's great to get a piece of equipment that will help reveal the deeper wonders of the night sky. But unfortunately – especially with lower-cost telescopes – most telescopes come with just one or two mediocre eyepieces that limit the true power of your scope...
