Q: Which mount should I use, EQ or ALT-AZ?

The mount depends on the following and as per your need: Alt-Azimuth mount (ALT-AZ) is a simple two-axis mount for small refractors and reflectors, is acceptable for casual observation and has a very little pre-setup time. It gives the optical tube, UP-Down and Horizontal motions. Equatorial mount (EQ) allows you to track an object by moving only one axis. This feature greatly enhances the utility of equatorial mounts. It gives the optical tube Arc motions, as to how any object moves in the actual sky. And, so it is better suited for stability during a continuous observation and also during Astrophotography techniques.

Astronomers Telescope FAQs

*Aperture is the measure of light gathering ability, The larger the better

*Focal length is the distance between the telescope’s primary lens

*Refractors use convex lenses/ converging lenses to gather light

*Reflectors use concave mirrors/ converging mirrors to gather light

*Magnification is the measurement of the amount of zoom

I'm a beginner at Astronomy, which telescope should I start with?

For a beginner it is always recommended to start with any telescope that has an aperture of 3-6 inch and Space Arcade has a variety of brands to choose from.

I live in a city so which telescope should I buy & what objects can I see?

Even if you're living in cities, it is easy to spot and capture bright planets like Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn & definitely the Sun (using Solar Filter) & the Moon in detail.

What is the decent budget to start with?

More than the budget its the investment consideration on something meaningful, although, a 3inch to 4inch aperture scope is good to start with and it would cost you anywhere in the range of INR 10,000/- to 20,000/-

I am confused between Refractors and Reflectors telescopes? Which one to go for?

*Refractors can always be a good options for beginners for ease of use, budget- friendly and good for solar system objects in case of small aperture telescopes, but in case of moderate or intermediate slightly larger aperture telescopes, you should go for *Reflectors (or called as Newtonians) for more light gathering, less expensive and less errors.

Should I buy any additional accessories to get a better viewing experience?

Any new telescope always comes with all required eyepieces for initial viewing experience. But you can always improve your viewing experience by getting different Eyepiece, both for higher *magnification, larger Field of View & better contrast. A barlow lens is imp. for more magnification & photography of planets. Filters are important for the next level of experience and Solar filters are must-must have for Sun observations. An additional padded carrying bag should be purchased if you travel frequently, which will help to keep the telescopes safe & clean.

I'm interested in capturing the moon and planets, what accessories should I buy?

For planetary photography or lunar photography, you can connect your smartphone to the telescope using a smartphone adapter, capture still photos and also beautiful videos. For DSLR photography we have to use T-ring (as per your DSLR brand) and T-adapter.

Are telescopes upgradeable? Can I upgrade my existing telescope for better results?

Collecting Mirror or lens of a Telescope is the most important and so aperture plays the most crucial role. If you want an upgrade, you need to purchase a larger aperture telescope and then use new and old equipment, for different kinds of requirements. Smaller one can be used while traveling.

What Astronomy Apps and Software are recommended for beginners?

The most widely used apps available on iOS and Android Devices are:
Stellarium
Starwalk 2
Heavens-Above
Skymap
SkySafari

6″ GSO Dobsonian | It’s a worth for money to invest. The image is clear enough to get an idea about space objects. Watching moon is wonderful experience. Jupiter can be seen with its 4 moons and also the Saturn with one moon. I bought solar filter as well which

When I decided to buy a telescope for my daughter I wasn't sure what model, make, specs should it be and where to get it from. Fortunately during my search on internet came across Space Arcade....Neeraj guided me through the selection process and suggested the right model for my daughter being a beginner. The telescope was delivered in time and their representative set it up and gave a very useful demonstration. Am glad I reached out to Space Arcade for my requirement. They are very well versed in all aspects of this product and its usage.

Space Arcade is a dream come true for Astrophiles like me. The childhood and life long fascination towards the vast sky and all the celestial objects in it, desire to know about them has come true by the star gazing events conducted by this group. The telescopes and space gadgets are of very high quality, reasonable prices and durable. Neeraj sir has ample knowledge and experience and with so much passion he shares all that he knows with us, be it understanding how to use a telescope or about the celestial objects in the sky. I feel so proud to have a telescope of my own and using it to see the moon, Jupiter, saturn and clusters of stars. It gave me tears of joy when i first saw the moon so clear and close. The feeling is inexpressible. Thank you Sir for your dedication to bring the space closer to us with your online sessions, non stop posts of whats happening thousands of light years away far from us. I highly recommend people to buy the products and attend his sessions to understand the miraculous events happening above us. Thank you
