How to Choose Your First Telescope

[Chris]

Hi everyone. I've put my 50+ telescope buying, testing, selling 'problem' to good use and made a video to help new astronomers decide on their first telescope based on their interests.

I will be doing an updated collaboration version of this video with another Youtuber shortly, so if there is anything else people would like me to include or change? just leave a comment below, thanks

Great Idea and extremely informative , as always , Chris .

I think this video is going to become very popular, pretty quickly. Well done!

[Chris]

Thank you folks! 

I'm glad the information appears to be good! Astro must be really confusing to newcomers with all the different equipment out there. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing of course

Great video Chris. Its worth putting in a small section about the challenges of viewing from our urban homes and the weight considerations if you have to carry and setup your scope outside.

Note made, portability is a good point, and perhaps cooling time. Thanks.
