The best telescope for under $100 will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Some popular options include the Celestron PowerSeeker 70AZ, the Meade Infinity 70mm Refractor Telescope, and the Orion StarBlast 4.5 Astro Reflector Telescope.
When shopping for a telescope under $100, it is important to consider the aperture (the diameter of the telescope's main lens or mirror), the focal length (the distance from the lens or mirror to the point where the image is in focus), and the magnification power. You may also want to consider the type of telescope (refractor, reflector, or compound) and any additional features such as a tripod or eyepieces.
Yes, you can see some planets with a telescope under $100. However, the quality of the view may vary depending on the telescope's features and the atmospheric conditions. Planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars are usually visible with a telescope under $100, but they may appear as small dots rather than detailed images.
A refractor telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light, while a reflector telescope uses mirrors. Refractor telescopes are typically better for viewing planets and other bright objects, while reflector telescopes are better for viewing fainter objects such as galaxies and nebulae. Refractor telescopes are also generally more compact and easier to set up, while reflector telescopes may require more maintenance.
Some additional accessories you may want to consider for a telescope under $100 include eyepieces of different focal lengths to adjust the magnification, a finder scope to help you locate objects in the sky, and a tripod or mount for stability. You may also want to invest in a star chart or astronomy book to help you identify objects in the night sky.
