There is no single best telescope, only the best telescope for a particular sky, a particular set of targets and a particular tolerance for setup. The categories below are organised around those decisions rather than around brand names.
We currently stock 10 telescopes, from ₹12,000 to ₹1,70,000. Every product page states what the optics can genuinely deliver, including where they fall short.
Beginner telescopes chosen for steady mounts and fast setup, with honest guidance on aperture and what you will realistically see from an Indian sky.
7 telescopesRefractor telescopes use a front lens instead of mirrors: no collimation, sealed optics, high-contrast planetary views. Compare apertures, focal ratios and prices.
2 telescopesNewtonian reflectors deliver the most aperture per rupee, which makes them the strongest choice for deep-sky observing. Specs, mounts and honest trade-offs.
6 telescopesA Dobsonian is a Newtonian reflector on a simple rocker-box mount — the cheapest way to put a large mirror under the sky. See what we stock and who it suits.
1 telescopeGoTo telescopes find and track objects automatically. The strongest argument for one is a city sky where star-hopping landmarks are simply not visible.
3 telescopesPlanetary observing rewards long focal ratios and steady mounts more than raw aperture. See which telescopes suit the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and why.
5 telescopesDeep-sky observing is limited by aperture and sky darkness above all else. These telescopes have the light grasp to show galaxies, nebulae and globular clusters.
6 telescopesAperture is the specification that sets the ceiling on what you can see. These three collect the most light of anything we sell.

Catadioptric · Intermediate
The 6SE keeps the celebrated NexStar experience in a smaller package that is easier to move, set up, and grow into.

Reflector · Intermediate
A 150mm parabolic tabletop Dobsonian with StarSense guidance, made for observers who want stronger deep-sky performance without a bulky full-size base.
