Skywatcher Telescopes
Will I be able to see planets and nebula with a telescope with the strength of 102x500 (SkyWatcher)?
I want to buy a new telescope and would just like to know if I am making the right choice, PLZ HELP!
Thanks
It all depends on the level of skygazing you want to do. On a clear dark night, there are more astronomical objects visible even with the naked eye than you might think. Even with just a good pair of 10x50 binoculars, you can see hundreds of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.
I'd say that 102x500 should be plenty sufficient for any amateur astronomer's needs.

The Sky-Watcher Astrolux 76mm Telescope (A buyer's guide)
Skywatcher telescope?
I am looking for a telescope and have come across a skywatcher telescope, just wondering if it is a good brand.
And what are the advantages and disadvantages of a reflecting telescope?
I'm not really familiar with that brand, so I can't tell you about it, but I think I can help with the second part of your question.
Reflecting telescopes have several advantages. One is that with a refracting telescope, the light bends as it passes through the lenses, and the blue and violet wavelengths are bent more than red and orange. This will cause slight color fringes on around everything you see. On a good refractor, they'll use two or more lens elements to reduce this "chromatic aberration", but they can't cure it completely, and the "faster" (lower focal ratio) the scope it is, the worse the problem will be. On a reflector, the light bounces off the aluminized front of the mirror, so chromatic aberration doesn't happen.
Because only one side of a reflector's main mirror needs to be optically figured, versus four for a two element refractor, a mirror will be cheaper than an objective lens of any given size. That makes the reflector cheaper than the refractor.
Because a refractor's lens can only be supported by its edge, there is a practical limit to how big you can make an objective lens before the glass begins to "sag" and distort the image. A mirror can be supported over it's entire back, making it much easier to keep the figure on the mirror optically correct.
Refractors do have some advantages, though. With a reflector, most designs bounce the light off the main mirror back up the tube, so to see it, you'd have to get your head in the way. Reflectors get around this by using a "secondary" mirror to redirect the light so that it can be seen. Newtonian reflectors redirect the light to the side, while Cassagrains deflect the light back toward the primary mirror, and out a hole in the center.
This secondary mirror causes some issues to come up. One is that the primary and secondary mirrors need to be properly aligned for the telescope to work to it's full potential. If these elements aren't "collimated", performance suffers. Also, just the fact that the secondary is there means that it will scatter some of the incoming light, reducing contrast

Reposting this question because people are telling my USA websites... Where can I get these Telescope Lenses?
I must stress, I need to buy these from the UK - as Shipping from the USA is too expensive!
I've been told by a few people to get these two lenses for my telescope, and need a retailer in England...
- GSO 30mm Super-View
- Orion Edge-On Planetary 6mm
Thank you!
Again, please only UK dealers. USA shipping is wayyyyy too expensive!
Okay, so, following the advice of people on here I have started to look for what I want based on everything but name.
I can only find one UK store in London,
Please could someone advise me on eye pieces from the UK that are similar to the above?
I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Okay. I believe I've found this one:
GSO 30mm Super-View
Apparently in the "Revelation 2" eyepiece" series in the UK, but it is the same!
http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/eyepieces/GSO/revelation/plossl-eyepieces/plossl-eyepiece.html
Still can't find the other one though...
Try these two retailers:
http://www.dhinds.co.uk/
http://www.uk-astronomy.co.uk/directory/5yu4ef,telescope_house_kent.htm
and here is a third-

Any Orion telescope Retailer in Calgary?
I'm becoming very fascinated with Orion Telescopes and am considering buying one. Are there any Orion Telescope Retailers in Calgary, Alberta Canada?
Looks like All Star Telescope in Calgary might be the place you want to check.
You can try checking Alberta Premium Optics, but I would advise caution - they seem to be very, very new.

Where to buy a telescope?
I want to buy a telescope for casual viewing during this summer.
That being said I want to buy a telescope from a local store, I'd rather avoid using e-bay, kijiji, craigslist or online sources as a primary source-I'd resort to them if needed.
Are there any retail stores that can sell good telescopes? I have a large budget - simply need a source.
I live in the GTA area, city of Brampton - additional information.
Take the 401 east to Dufferin and go south on Dufferin. There are two excellent telescope stores on opposite sides of Dufferin a few blocks south of the 401: Efston Science on the west side and Khan Scope on the east side two blocks farther south. I've bought many telescopes from both stores over the years. Efston is a bigger, glitzier, and more expensive store; Khan smaller but with more quality used scopes. Both are staffed by knowledgeable people who can help you choose the best telescope for you.
