What good is a Bushnell 150x50mm Refractor Telescope?
Other specifications that I have are: Bushnell 150x50mm Refractor telescope and tripod. Features aluminum tube unit, 4 mm and 20 mm objective eye, and the yoke equatorial mount, accessory tray and rack and pinion focusing. How point I will be able to do with it? Would you be able to see Jupiter / Neptune?
If you can get another telescope, the better. 150 First x is misleading. Any telescope is limited to 50 inches x through the opening. Beyond that, things blur. 50 mm is two inches (approximately) for 100 times is the most you can expect. 30 times is a more realistic number because they want to improve light capture as well. The greater the increase, the controller image. Stick to the 20 mm eyepiece and the scope of this document will serve as a tool for beginner. If you can see Jupiter as a visible disk and even the four largest moons of Jupiter, tho they just look like points of light. Neptune is well within reach, but since Neptune is barely visible to the naked eye, is much harder to find than Jupiter. Given that this telescope has no support or direction finder scope, Neptune will be difficult. Mercury, Venus and Mars and Saturn are all within reach of this telescope. Clusters stars like the Beehive "Bee" and M13 (a globular brilliant group in the constellation of Hercules) are within the scope of this telescope. A reflector gives further for the dollar than a refractor. The reflectors of 110 mm in diameter and 900 mm focal length will enable a robust increase 200 times.
