In a city (Wuxi) where you can't see the stars at night, can you see the stars with an astronomical telescope?

You're right. This is due to the light pollution brought by modernization to astronomy lovers all over the world. Because there are all kinds of lights outside the city now. Some still shoot directly into the sky. Even in rural areas, roads are densely covered. Street lamps reflected from the road also illuminate the night sky. So the night sky we see now is actually not black, but gray. In this way, many stars that could have been seen were submerged in these messy lights. I remember when I was a child, I enjoyed the cool while listening to the stories of cowherd and weaver girl told by adults. You can also see the Milky Way when you look up. Where can I see it now? No matter how good the weather is, only a few scattered stars can be seen. Even third-class stars are rarely seen (it is said that sixth-class stars can be seen). The Milky Way can only be heard in stories. You can't see it with your eyes, and you can't see it with a telescope. You must be disappointed to see this. Isn't it worth buying an astronomical telescope? Don't! Astronomical telescopes are still very interesting. Because the protostar looks almost exactly the same with the naked eye in the telescope, it is a bright spot. Of course, it should be brighter in theory. But it doesn't feel obvious. So don't look until you see it. I think these things look good with an astronomical telescope: Moon Crater, Venus Profit and Loss, Saturn's Ring, Jupiter's "Wood Grain" and four Galileo satellites. Fortunately, these can still be seen. No matter how serious the light pollution is. Because these are super stars. If one day these stars are out of sight, there will be no night.

Generally speaking, AstraZeneca 80EQ is undoubtedly the first choice for family amateur observation. Now it's around Taobao 600 yuan. A year ago, it was over 1000! This price is entirely due to the fact that the 80EQ has become the mainstream model for astronomy enthusiasts, with a super high market sales. Since last year, Xingtelang has put down its value in the domestic market to participate in low-price competition. It can be said that the cost performance is unparalleled. Even in the miscellaneous astronomical telescopes, it is difficult to find an 80mm diameter telescope, and the magnetic declination meter is 600. In addition, AstraZeneca is the most famous astronomical telescope brand in the world. The American Astronomical Association held an event to put it on the lawn of the White House to show AstraZeneca to Obama.

In addition, I suggest that you can buy the cheapest one in Taobao. Telescope has many professional shops in Taobao. It is best to find one that is also from Wuxi (Taobao can choose the location). Contact Taobao Want Want first and then go to face-to-face transaction. If you are not used to online trading, you can at least look at the price online first. Go to the physical store to talk about the price, and you will have a bottom in your heart. Some shops on Taobao also have physical stores. Generally, the online price is much cheaper than bargaining directly in the store.
