请给一点建议

robin

我想买一个天文望远镜，下次爬山时背上它，欣赏夜空中的银河和星星，我对望远镜一点不懂，请热心人给些建议－－－那种型号号？哪种较轻？ 哪种性价比好？哪里有卖并便宜？

温哥华有没有天文爱好者组织？

多谢了！

我對買天文望遠鏡不能提供有用的訊息, 但強力的望遠鏡體積一定很大, 而且構造脆弱, 不適合爬山用. 若只想在戶外觀星, 在野外四周漆黑一片, 大部份的星座及銀河不用望遠鏡亦能看到.

Rick,  

I have this device with me for a long time. It is a good helper to identify the stars.  Thanks.
