MAKE YOUR OWN CONNECTIONS

You might be able to make your own luck if you’re in touch with a local telescope retailer. Ask them about the possibility of purchasing or reserving an ex-display telescope. In most cases, it’ll be in perfect condition. Also, keep one eye on the latest telescope reviews. When a manufacturer releases an updated model, you can expect to see the previous version going for less, just like last year’s must-have smartphone. For most of us, it doesn’t feel like a good time to spend. Budgets are tight and prices are high, but discounts can always be found, and a properly maintained telescope will bring you many years of fabulous observing experiences. Shop around with patience – the wonders of the sky aren’t going anywhere.
