Incredible telescope for under £100

you’re doing a great job of making amateur astronomy less gatekeepy. i appreciate your work

I still remember the day, YouTube suggested me your one video and i ended up watching them all..haha.. you are awesome Astrobiscuit

Thank you so much for having me in the video Rory! It was so much fun 🤣

Love the crocodile Dundee quote. "that's a shaving mirror. That's a telescope mirror. Fantastic 🍪

We're the real winners - a new Astrobiscuit video!

BBC quality as usual... I kept hoping that some day we will see you on the TV... Great work 👏

Less than two minutes in and I can't pull myself away from the screen! There's an earthquake happening outside, but it will have to wait until I've finished watching.... Best content on the planet!

You're enthusiasm is infectious. I was tired just watching you go up and down the ladder to your roof observatory. Brilliant video, thanks.

Finally a new Video it's been too long to enjoy a biscuit, an Astrobiscuit :)

Found a junk store 60mm vixen era refractor for $9 Canadian. Popped in decent eyepiece, put on old tripod. Best Jupiter views ever, sharp belts, shadows, colours, more. Once on a solid mount they’re little wonder scopes.

I love how you're able to make the viewer care about a topic they might not've ever thought about! Love the vids! <3

Love your videos. It's interesting to see the differences between your videos and the ones done by other astrophotographers. There are others that I also follow but you really have your own style. Apart from being incredibly knowledgeable, you are often on the move, going to meet someone face to face or online and your videos are both educational and hilarious. I'm hooked!

My first scope was a Celestron 80 mm and it was cheap, but it gave me the most amazing views of the moon and planets. It is a wonderful scope.

Thank you for this. I've been looking for a starter telescope for my kids and I so this was a great help. Top job.

Another great video, thank you! As someone who started observing too long ago when all I could afford was a pair of tripod-mounted binos, I think it is fantastic to get a decent scope for ~£100.

Your videos are the all-time BEST when it comes to being a nerdy astronomer. And your musical repertoire just takes that onto a whole NEW LEVEL. I find your cinematography/editing the most creative out there I've seen so far. Thank you for being.

My first official telescope was the Celestron 70MM travel scope. I thought I had to make the focus as big as possible to see things. I knew so little about astronomy at the time. Now, I know how to work it perfectly and found out that the mount I used to use was the primary issue with the telescope's capabilities. Exactly one year ago (because today is my birthday) I got a Gysker 90mm telescope. It's an amazing scope and I highly recommend it, because the EQ mounted 90mms are cheap and aren't worth your time.

I also recommend the 70mm Astromaster refractor , it does very well on the planets. Some people wouldn't believe it can do planetary with a good mount of course, but pop a barlow 2X with a planetary camera and try your best with focusing and you can get some decent shots of the planets and the moon! I also 3d printed telescope clamps for it and screwed it on a vixen shoe mount , the original on it was contributing to the shaking and moving. I also got an older Meade 50mm narrow tube refractor - for free , someone wanted to throw it away - which was made in Japan in the 80s or 70s, the optics are fantastic on it. Just can't beat those Japanese stuff!

I love your videos! They're always full of information and recommendations. Thank you.

I bought my first telescope used and under 100$ and it gives me so many emotions looking in the night sky! I share with friends and feel so thankful... It is so incredible!
