Win a Meade Telescope worth £300
WIN A MEADE TELESCOPE WORTH £300!
Enter our competition, exclusive to WH Smith customers, and you could win a telescope that will take your night-sky photography to new heights
With today’s modern digital cameras, you can capture some amazing images of the night sky. But if you want to capture celestial objects up close, you need greater magnification than a regular camera lens can offer – and that’s where a telescope like the Meade Polaris comes in. With a focal length of 650mm, the Polaris 130mm German Equatorial Reflector provides everything you need to view and photograph the wonders of the night sky.
The 130mm aperture ensures that the Meade Polaris delivers bright and detailed images; the three provided eyepieces provide low, medium and high magnification for viewing a wide range of objects; and the large, stable equatorial mount offers slow-motion controls that make it easy to track celestial objects as they move across the night sky.
The Meade Polaris is the perfect telescope to help you get started on your journey into shooting brilliant astrophotography. To connect a camera to your telescope, you need a T-Ring Adapter; this is not included with the telescope because it is specific to your make of camera. Digital Camera World offers several tutorials to help you explore this fascinating subject:
* Astrophotography guides: How to photograph the night sky, the moon and more
There’s also a buyer’s guide with advice on cameras and accessories:
* Astrophotography tools: the best camera, lenses and gear for shooting the night sky
