Telescopes for Beginners

Give kids a clear, exciting first step into astronomy with beginner telescopes designed for easy setup, stable views, and real “wow” moments—perfect when you plan to buy a telescope for kids. Entry models start from just €40, letting young observers see the Moon’s craters, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s moons without complicated alignment.

• Sturdy tabletops or stable tripods, red‑dot finders, wide‑field eyepieces, and smartphone adapters for easy lunar photos
