Explore Newtonian Telescope - A Beginner's Guide
The Newtonian telescope, also known as the Reflecting Telescope or Newtonian reflector, uses mirrors to reflect light onto an eyepiece that focuses it into an image to be viewed and imaged. It has been in use since the early 1700s when Sir Isaac Newton created the design based on work he had done years before with optics and light itself. The design of the Newtonian telescope has remained essentially unchanged since its creation and represents the basis upon which all modern telescopes are built.
Top Tips on Choosing a Newtonian Telescope
Newtonian telescopes are a great choice for beginning astronomers. It is a reflecting telescope, which has a simple design and uses mirrors to reflect the light so that it can be viewed by an eyepiece. The design of the Newtonian telescope makes it easy to manufacture and assemble, making them available at different price ranges.
With all these options, choosing a Newtonian telescope might seem overwhelming. For those who want the best possible view but don't have enough money to spare on higher quality instruments, then go with 12-inch Newtonian telescopes.
If you are new to astronomy, then choosing a Newtonian telescope may be overwhelming. Don't fret though! Buying a telescope that is bigger than your pocketbook means you can upgrade later without losing out on viewing. You can enjoy those high-quality images for years to come with high-end accessories like lenses and binoculars.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to use a Celestron Newtonian telescope?
To operate a telescope, you need to find an object in the sky, focus on it and then adjust the eyepiece or lens for better viewing. In order for the telescope to work properly, you need some light coming from the telescope into your eye. Find objects in your night sky with your eyes first before looking at them through the telescope and make sure they are not blocked by any structures around you such as buildings or trees.
What is the difference between a Newtonian and Dobsonian telescope?
The Dobsonian telescope has more height than the width so it can accommodate larger optical elements which lead to sharper images while being less bulky and easier to carry outdoors.
On the other hand, the Newtonian telescope provides more speed of motion when slewing because of its shorter focal length but can be awkward to carry outside due to its large size. The telescope that suits one’s needs best depends on individual preferences and intended use, though many people choose the Dobsonian telescope because of its lower price tag compared with a quality Newtonian telescope like this Skywatcher Newtonian telescope collection, 8-inch Newtonian telescope, 6-inch Newtonian telescope, 12-inch Newtonian telescope, Celestron Newtonian telescope, Telescopes Canada Buy Newtonian Telescope.
