A telescope can be a fascinating possession, opening up the opportunity to explore some of the wonders of the universe. But if you are not an expert, it can often be difficult to know which one to buy. Then, when you have made a purchase, there can be problems which it is difficult to solve. And which accessories should you buy?

This group, a spin-off from the Telescope Tips area of Skymania is designed to help you find the answer to any problems. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, ask away and perhaps we can help each other. Don't worry that your problem seems a "stupid question" - we were all beginners once!

A new forum takes a while to grow, of course, so as well as posting your queries here, do check out Telescope Tips and these pages from astronomy author and telescope expert Robin Scagell for some general helpful advice.
