Explore Telescopes

Welcome to the Telescope Piki, the best place to decide between telescopes. Telescopes allow humans to view objects at great distances through the use of electromagnetic energy. This Piki makes use of more than 3,700 facts about 30 telescopes. Sort and filter these telescopes according to your preferences using the options on the left. Whether you're looking for telescopes with a high maximum useful magnification, telescopes under $1,500 or something else entirely, we have you covered.

You are currently viewing the best telescopes with a focal length over 1,500 millimeters. These telescopes all have a focal length of 1500 millimeters or more. This measurement indicates the width of an angle the telescope can capture through its eyepiece. A longer focal length will typically allow you to reach higher magnifications.
