Budget Under €500? Click Here! Buying your first telescope can feel overwhelming. And, you want to ensure your money is well spent. Refractor or reflector? Manual or GoTo? Which telescope is actually good, and which ones should be avoided? At Ktec Telescopes, we speak to beginner astronomers every day, and the good news is this:....

The kids dug out their 70mm Refractor to look at the Moon. And wanted photos. Proper excitement all round!
Here it is...

A galaxy 1.04 Billion light years away. 😲
In this photo we took, look at IC2729, near IC2725.
A distant galaxy in Leo.
Imaged with a Seestar S50. In Bortle 4 skies.

Last night's thin crescent moon with a SeeStar S50, at 1x.
Straight out , no processing

The difference between 3 minutes, and 100 minutes, on M51 with an S50.
3 minutes isn't too bad looking in fairness!!

Nice clear night here last night.
Seestar S50 gave us this nice M51.
100 minutes, no processing at all, straight from Seestar.
A few faint background galaxies in there too.
