Taking a Look at Smaller Refractors

If you are looking for a beginning or entry-level telescope, you might have considered one of the smaller refractors out on the market and wondered whether they have sufficient power to provide you with a decent view of the night sky. If you are contemplating 50mm or 60mm refractors, you will find an inexpensive, starter model for stargazing. With these smaller refractors, bright planets will come into view. You can also navigate your way through double stars, nebulae and galaxies. The important thing to keep in mind is to look for quality over aperture size. A well-built 50mm refractor telescope will be a better purchase than a 60mm refractor telescope.
