We’re excited to announce Astronomy magazine’s new Space and Beyond subscription box - a quarterly adventure, curated with an astronomy-themed collection in every box.

Doing so reduces the cooling (or warming) time required when you set up at night.īringing the universe to your door. Ideally, you should keep your telescope at or near the temperature outside. A good storage place should be dry, dust-free, secure, and large enough to get the telescope in and out easily. Nothing affects a telescope’s life span more than how and where you store it when you’re not using it.

But if neglected or abused, your telescope may not make it to the next New Moon. With a little common sense on your part, a telescope will return a lifetime of fascination. They require little care and attention and cost nothing to keep. Unlike so many products in our throwaway society, where built-in obsolescence seems the rule, telescopes often outlast their owners.
