If you have a young astronomer who would like to take the hobby to the next level, consider buying them a kid telescope.  Not a cheap telescope from the local toy store, but an authentic telescope that is made for real stargazing.   Be careful to select a telescope that provides for optimal viewing of celestial bodies while providing a clear image of your selected galaxies.  This allows the new astronomer to enter the intriguing world of stargazing and take an important step in exploration of their universe .

What Type of Kid Telescope Should You Consider?

With a less complex and simple, well-crafted design, the dobsonian telescope model has been highly recommended by some experts as one of the best child telescopes available on today's market.  Other experts believe that a more basic dobsonian telescope is a better choice for novices.  To help make your decision, a good source of information is the telescope user reviews found at many telescope online stores.  But, whatever your choice, select the child telescope model that is tailored for new telescope users and one that can be set-up quickly and can be aligned and operates easily. While a  cannot offer custom or state of the art optics, ones from reputable manufacturers are generally quite satisfactory.  A word of warning though --  It is generally best to avoid "department store" telescopes.  These are generally of lower quality and designed for mass production at the expense of quality.

Why You Should Start with a Beginner Telescope

The reasons we suggest that you start on a smaller scale is that you want to avoid the frustration of attempting to use an advance telescope without training and experience. A beginner telescope will afford you with a great number of opportunities to view the stars and planets while you learn the basics of stargazing.  The cost of a kids telescope can vary from two hundred to twenty five hundred dollars, but we would suggest that you look for telescopes in the $300 to $600 price range.

So, if your new astronomy student is ready to commence on their quest to the stars, take a "right"  at the Sea of Tranquility and fly yourself into deep space by visiting the Crab Nebula. The adventure can be much less complex than you think, thanks to the strong magnification , precision optics and simple operating controls of the new telescopes for beginners .
