”I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.
Use them and enjoy them.“
Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS
Note: The Sky-Watcher telescope models and mountings that have been tested, endorsed and recommended by Sir Patrick Moore are labelled accordingly in their respective sections on this website.

SKY-WATCHER ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPES

Ade Ashford Says...

"Having tested and reviewed a wide range of astronomical telescopes over the last couple of decades, for me there's one manufacturer that's risen above the rest in terms of delivering a coherent range of uncompromising, well-conceived designs, embodying consistently good optics and sensibly engineered mounts at very competitive prices — that's Sky-Watcher!!"
Ade Ashford BSc

Ade Ashford has tested and reviewed astronomical equipment in a professional capacity for several publications, including Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Now & BBC Sky At Night Magazine. He is currently living in New Zealand and is an astronomer at Mt John Observatory, Lake Tekapo.

    TABLETOP TELESCOPES

    Ade Ashford Says…

    "If you're looking for a complete, grab-and-go 'scope for solar eclipse chasing or to maximise your luggage allowance on holiday, consider the STARTRAVEL-80 or SKYMAX-90 tabletop models. The former's 80mm f/5 lens delivers 3 degree-wide views for rich-field work, while the 90mm f/14 Maksutov provides crisp, detailed views of the Moon and bright planets. Both are supplied with the sturdy EQ1 equatorial that may be motorised for piggy back astrophotography."
