Telescopes
Spotting Scopes
Spotting Scopes are the workhorse of Terrestrial observation, but can give a surprisingly good view when turned skywards !
Dobsonian
The dobsonian design is the most affordable and for the price the most stable, quickest setup & simplest to use of all the telescope mount designs !
Portable GO-TO
When you are looking for a telescope that is easy to transport, finds its way around the night sky for you, then these are the scopes for you It takes about 20 minutes to set up one of these scopes including the alignment process. The reflectors will give the best wide field view, while the Masutov’s & Schmidt Casserains give the best high magnification views, great on the planets and bright stars.
Refractors (OTA)
A refracting telescope is an excellent choice for imaging, or as a wide field ultra portable scope. When imaging the aim is to be using an APO design (Apochromatic) to eliminate false colour and reduce Coma on the edge of the image.
Eyepieces
Almost every telescope comes with a couple of eyepieces and these are great to get you started. However when you want clear sharp edge to edge wide field views of big Nebula and star clusters, tack sharp high magnification views of the planets or a close up of that distant Galaxy through a larger aperture telescope then its time for an Eyepiece upgrade !

Binoculars +
Marine
Marine Binoculars need to do a couple of things. Firstly Waterproof for obvious reasons ! Secondly they need to generally be of 7 or 8 times magnification otherwise in the constantly moving marine environment (unless image stabilised) you will have difficulty getting a clear image on a moving target. Thirdly a larger aperture of 50mm is advantageous in the low light conditions of dawn or dusk. Thus the 7×50 Waterproof marine binocular is the industry standard.
Rangefinders
Rangefinders give an accurate laser generated distance measurement from 200m to over 1.5km ! These are an essential tool for golfers, hunters, industrial applications, recording observed distances for record keeping and many other uses.
