AI Thread Summary
For beginners in astronomy seeking telescopes to view nebulas and galaxies, the Celestron models listed are suitable options, with the 70mm aperture telescope being recommended for better visibility. Observing conditions are important, and while light pollution is minimal in the user's area, the quality of the tripod is crucial for stability. It's emphasized that views of nebulae will not match the vibrant images often seen in photographs, as they appear as dim, fuzzy objects through a telescope. However, viewing planets and the moon can be a rewarding experience. Overall, these telescopes can provide a good starting point for amateur astronomers.

Hello all, i am beginner in astronomy and want to buy a telescope (which will be my first) but don't know much about it. i am seeking for telescope to see up to nebulas and galaxy, i found some telescope on one online site, they are-

are these telescope able to show galaxies and nebulas ?

Where do you plan to observe from? Anywhere near a city?
 
I live in small town of India with small light pollution but few away km. from my house there are some places with nearly zero light pollution, so not much concerned about light pollution.
 
They are all very similar the first one 70mm aperture the other 2 are 50mm

personally I would go for the 70mm :smile:

the almost more important thing is... the one with the sturdiest (strongest) tripod
There is little to be gained with really good optics on a poor tripod that wobbles and vibrates with the slighest touch

Celestron are a good brand, they have been making scopes for a good number of years
My current main scope is a Celestron CPC 9.25"

I think anyone of those 3 would do you well and you would be able to have a good play looking around the skies and at a later date if your astronomy interest continues to grow, then you can always look at a larger scope :smile:

Dave

First, I want to make sure you understand the view of nebulae in a telescope is NOT anything like the pictures you see everywhere. Other than the stars in/around the nebulae, you will see dim fuzzy objects and that's it. There will be very very little detail and almost no color in anything but the brightest nebulae.

Still, I enjoy visual observing from time to time. Especially the planets and the moon, they are a real treat when visible, and not even a photograph can compare to seeing Saturn or Jupiter through a telescope yourself.

Lucky you. I have the same type of scope: Celestron powerseeker 60AZ. I can never see nebulae from my place.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
