Telescope
In this category you will find telescopes for astronomy, astrophotography, and nature observation – from compact beginner models to powerful Dobsonian telescopes, up to computer-controlled GoTo telescopes. Brands such as Celestron, Skywatcher, Bresser, and Omegon offer a wide selection for amateur astronomers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to explore the night sky in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Whether you are looking for a telescope for planet observation, a portable travel telescope for camping trips, or an advanced reflector telescope for astrophotography: The range covers refractors, reflectors, Maksutov telescopes, and accessories. With a high-quality telescope, you can experience lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter with its moons, as well as deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies – comfortably from home or on the go at a dark location.
Refractors (lens telescopes) are particularly suitable for moon and planet observation and deliver high-contrast images. They are low-maintenance and ideal for beginners. Reflectors (mirror telescopes) offer a larger aperture at lower cost and collect more light – perfect for deep-sky observations. Maksutov and Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes combine a compact design with a long focal length and are suitable for both visual observation and astrophotography. Dobsonian telescopes score with easy handling and a large aperture at an attractive price-performance ratio.
GoTo telescopes with automatic object targeting and tracking make getting started in astronomy enormously easier. After a brief alignment, the telescope independently finds planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies and reliably keeps them in the eyepiece. This saves time searching and enables longer, relaxed observation sessions – ideal when you want to share the starry sky with friends or family.
Additional eyepieces in various focal lengths open up flexible magnification levels, while Barlow lenses expand your existing eyepiece collection. Moon and planet filters improve contrast when observing bright objects. Practical carrying cases, stable tripods, and rechargeable battery packs for GoTo mounts make your telescope ready for mobile use under the starry sky.

This category is ideal for beginners who want to discover the night sky, as well as for advanced amateur astronomers and astrophotographers in Switzerland. Families who want to stargaze together and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a compact travel telescope for camping and hiking trips will also find suitable models here. Thanks to the wide brand selection, there is the right telescope for every level and budget.
When buying a telescope, it is important to have the largest possible fast aperture, high-quality optics, and a stable mount that delivers a steady image even at medium magnification. A dark observation site away from streetlights and city lights significantly improves the experience – which is why portable telescopes are particularly valuable if you live in light-polluted areas of Switzerland and want to be able to relocate flexibly.
