9 minute Youtube video before buying your first telescope

Post by Hardwarezone »

Post this video here as it's useful tips for parents who are too busy to spend hours browsing internet forums.
Seen some who bought those long tube refractor on yoke mount or bird-jones on equatorial mount , when they try to sell also no takers.

Video noted to avoid these yoke+rod mount (ss explorer LT 80az) and bird-jones (powerseeker127) as they are not user-friendly.
Other bad designs mentioned are plastic 5x24 finder-scope , plastic photo tripod , 45 degree diagonal.



I don't have any specific model available locally to recommend as it's a combination of availability & price , portability if outside home , dry storage.
