Common Questions

Questions Akash Helps With

I have a budget of ₹20,000. What telescope should I buy?

At ₹20,000 a Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ is the sweet spot — large enough to show Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons clearly, on a real equatorial mount. We'd explore whether planets or deep sky matters more to you before confirming.

Should I buy a Dobsonian or a GoTo telescope?

Depends entirely on your goals. If you want to visually observe deep sky objects and don't mind learning the sky, a Dobsonian gives more aperture per rupee. If you want astrophotography or quick object finding, a GoTo mount is worth the extra cost.

Is the ZWO Seestar S50 worth ₹65,000?

For imaging-focused beginners, yes — it removes all the complexity of astrophotography. But if you want to visually observe rather than image, there are better options at that price point. This is exactly what a consultation helps you figure out.

Can I do astrophotography with a beginner telescope?

Planetary photography is possible with most telescopes. Deep sky astrophotography requires a tracking mount. We'll assess what you actually want to photograph and recommend accordingly.
