Who is not lured endless dark sky, studded with myriads of gold points, merged together in a golden carpet of heaven?As a child, who has not thought about the fact that you can see through a telescope?Maybe a new star, a passing comet or a flying saucer?Many
from childhood kept their love for the mysteries of the sky and the planets, and as adults, or actively engaged in the study of the sky, watching the scene in your home telescope or monitor scientific discoveries in this area.
asking questions about what can be seen through a telescope, begs another question that you want to see?
After all, it depends on the telescope image that can open our eyes.The most important thing when choosing this device is the size of the lens - the higher it is, the farther you can look into the depths of space.So, enough for a beginner lens and 70 mm, but not enough professional and 150 mm.
When choosing a telescope is important to decide for what purpose you need it, whether you satisfy observe only planets or a sight you put the galaxy as a whole, and maybe you need to kill two birds with one stone: to see what is happening in the sky and on theearth?
Once the choice is made in favor of a particular instrument, the issue of what can be seen through a telescope, it becomes more persistent and it is unlikely for someone nightfall be desirable than the new owner of the "heavenly eye".
should make a reservation that the amazing images with swirls cluster of stars, the moon and the detailed craters searing light of the sun that are so well represented in the photos, you will not see, because they are made using either the spacecraft or heavy-duty equipment, such astelescope "Kepler."
is also important and the location of the telescope, because that can be seen in the town and away from it - two big differences.The farther away the device from the city glow, the more clear and non-illuminated picture will appear before your eyes.
How to start your study of the sky?With the Moon.She can pay tribute, not only for its beauty but also for the impact that it has on the entire planet as a whole.The equipment is set up properly, you can see craters, mountains, crevices and grooves, which is dotted with a satellite of our Earth.The best observation time is not the full moon, but on the contrary, its small phase was then very well watch the shadows cast by craters of the planet and other irregularities.
second object of the solar system, which was a pleasure and you can watch with interest - is the sun.But it should be very careful and in any case do not forget the sunscreen and eye protection lenses.Among astronomers joke goes, "You can look at the sun only twice in his life, first one eye, then the other."
The first thing that can be seen through a telescope - sunspots.Sometimes a lot, sometimes not, and they have different shapes on different days, because they have the property to change.Systematically observing the "life" on the Sun, you can see that all spots are collected in the so-called family: each has two large and several small spots.
The rest of the world is so clearly not be able to see, unfortunately, in most home telescopes are the size of a pea.Although, if you know what to look for, even the "pea" can not capture the attention of one hour.
So, for example, observing Jupiter, the first thing that catches the eye - it is absolutely non-circular appearance.Planet looks flattened.Also it is possible to see the background of the four satellites of Jupiter true passing around its axis, getting them in the shadow of the planet, and if the lens of your telescope more than 10 cm, you can even see the red spot, which is a large vortex.
