You may remember the Dell computer ad where a teenage boy brings his friends this exciting news that they are about to get their new computer with the words "Dude, you have a valley!" It was a nice series, but it reflects the excitement of young people encountering something new, especially when it comes to a new machine.
So when it comes time to finish your kids' first telescope, you'll want to make sure it is just the ticket. There are a number of reasons why you should seriously think about what this beginner telescope should look like. It can be your child's first experience with a real telescope. You may have a healthy and flourishing love of astronomy from your family travels around the country to watch a meteor shower or just gaze at the stars. And maybe you've piqued their interest showing them how to enhance the binoculars experience, or even let them play with your telescope.
But it's a great moment. They want them to "sign up" like you with this first telescope and use the excitement of harnessing the power of a telescope to do things with their love of astronomy that they could never do before. There are many reasons to care about your choice, including.
* A telescope is a huge step in the lifelong hobby of astronomy. When they have the wrong thing, frustration can cause them to lose interest in both the machine and the field of study.
* Children have short attention spans. They want this beginner telescope to take them to the next level from where they are while also giving them rewarding times as they discover new things in the stars with each use.
* It must be sturdy equipment. Children don't always know how to handle sensitive devices. The starter telescope should therefore have good "support wheels".
* It has to be their teacher, even if they don't know they are in school. A good beginner telescope, accompanied by stimulating material written for children, will stir their excitement and teach them how to work hard to reach new heights in search of star knowledge.
Much about how you get that first telescope depends on your own experience in astronomy. If this is your passion, and you have developed a fairly sophisticated knowledge of telescopes over the years, not only are you well equipped to make that choice, but you will be there to be with them when they start making them to use.
But if you encourage them to encourage you into a wonderful hobby that you haven't been extensively involved in, first of all, congratulate them. They give them not only a wonderful gift of knowledge, but also a love of astronomy and the natural wonder of nature. But you also need help. Here are some quick guidelines.
* Find the astronomical geeks. They are easy to find at hobby stores, astronomy clubs, and local college societies. They will help you with enthusiasm.
* Look at the telescope you imagine with your eyes. It shouldn't be too complex. Don't have anything to intimidate them.
* Don't buy toys. Your kids will know the difference.
* Make sure it can grow and expand as their knowledge grows.
If you think carefully about the right starter telescope, your children will be more excited than ever for a gift. Don't be surprised if you hear one of them yell, "Man, you have a telescope!"
