I’m buying a used telescope – here is one I foud:

Bushnell Sky Chief III
Made in 1986
700 power
Here’s more info:

It has a 3" lens at the aiming end.,I don’t know much about telescopes,as i said i bought it just for a look at a comet.The eyepieces are removable,i have 2 or 3 eyepieces of different power,and a barlo lens and a 1.5X Erector lens.,also has a sun lens,The telescope and stand weighs i would guess about 30 lbs. To aim the telescope you turn the cable knobs for very sensitive aiming,This was a high end telescope in 1986.Made in Japan. Its a Bushnell Sky Chief III.
I’l sell it for $50.00
Everything is in good condition,
Also, my boyfriend and I are willing to spend money over time to fix it up, buy new things for it.

No. Any telescope being sold on the basis of high magnification is going to be cheap junk. The important specification for a Telescope is its aperture. And 700x is unrealistically high. Also, Bushnell’s astronomical telescopes appear to be an afterthought in their optics line and are easily the worst thing they sell.

Can you take pictures of a star by taking it through a telescope?
So you put your camera eye directly in front of the the Telescope. Will it be a clear picture or super blurred?
I just thought this would be convenience if it worked.

Yes it is called a-focal,I have taken photos and video of the Moon like this,you can view on my flicker page-

Here is a good site to read up on this way to photograph.

The magnification of a Telescope is given by dividing the telescope’s focal length by the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, if you had a telescope with a 900mm focal length and used a 30mm eyepiece, the magnification would be 30 power (30x).

Thankyou so much for your responses! The telescope is going to be my 18th birthday present :)

I suggest you join an astronomy club or at least go to a couple star party’s and see what you like.Most clubs have loaner telescopes you can take home once trained.Here is a link to clubs-

A good telescope for dso’s(deep space objects) is the reflector type and the easiest to use and set up is a dob,(Dobsonian mount).To get a Telescope that will give you views of Galaxy’s,nebula,clusters and such you will need at least 6" aperture.
This is a good place to do some window shopping-

I have 2 of their telescopes a Starblast 6 and an XT 10-I love them both.
Thy really stand behind their products.
Stay away from e-bay and department store telescopes.
