Top 5 telescopes

A telescope or telescope is an indispensable assistant for sailors, athletes, naturalists, photographers, and all those who need to observe any phenomena from a fairly long distance. The optical device that appeared in the 16th century is still popular due to its exceptional properties, including impressive multiplicity and the best image quality. As a rule, they are unavailable to binoculars and other telescope "relatives". Therefore, it is this type of optics that is considered the most powerful and suitable for observing very distant objects. According to many experts, some of the most powerful telescopes can sometimes even replace the base telescope, which makes them quite versatile.

Also, these optical devices are often the best friends of photographers, shooting animals in their natural habitat and other subtle beauty that can not be captured from close distance, as well as sporting events. Often, manufacturers take this into account and equip their developments with various additions that stabilize the image and allow them to be used in combination with the camera. Some telescopes can even boast of having an integrated digital camera. As a rule, the camera is suitable for both photos and video, which allows the owner not only to watch, but also to share what he saw with friends and the whole world in a convenient format.

Although the telescopes are represented by dozens of companies, they are very diverse and are divided not only into models with and without a camera, but also in many other parameters, because of which the cost varies greatly. Therefore, the choice is to take into account not only the multiplicity of the increase, but also a number of parameters that make the pipe suitable for various tasks and shooting conditions, and our review will help you with this.

5 BRESSER Junior 8x32

The review of the best opens the most inexpensive and at the same time the most qualitative, if we talk about the budget segment, the optical device of a popular German brand. The robust and moderately bright shock-resistant body makes the Bresser telescope suitable for both sporting use and games for pirates and sailors. Low price, simplicity of structure and strength make it an excellent option for children. At the same time, the budget model weighs only 160 grams and, therefore, is worthy of the title of the lightest telescope. Compactness is also among the advantages of this optical device. It is not just miniaturized, but also has a practical folding structure.

Like many other cheap telescopes, the Bresser development is devoid of zoom, that is, the ability to change the magnification ratio. However, for the basic use of the standard 8-fold approximation for beginners is usually quite enough, as confirmed by customer reviews.

3 Bresser National Geographic 20–60x60

The bronze of the review went to a non-trivial telescope of the middle price segment, which in a number of parameters for the better differs not only from budget optical devices, but also from some expensive competitors. Despite the availability, the development of a well-known manufacturer stands out against the closest analogues not only by convenient zooming, but also by the possibility of increasing the image 60 times, which can be called a record among telescopes with a moderate price. Another advantage of National Geographic is the use of a Porro-type prism in the design, which gives the image additional depth. The twilight factor of the device is equal to 34.6, which guarantees good detail in the twilight.

According to the reviews, the pluses of the model include a convenient zoom setting, a complete set of a bag for transportation and a mount to the tripod to stabilize the picture. In this case, the housing is protected from damage by a rubber coating.

1 ATN X-spotter HD 20-80x
