Indlela yokukhetha iteleskopu yinto enzima, ayisosixhobo esisebenzayo kuphela, kodwa ikwayinto yokuzonwabisa ebiza imali eninzi, uninzi lwabantu luphantsi kwemeko yokutya okuninzi, luyikhethe njengezixhobo zemidlalo zokuzonwabisa.

Ukuthatha inxaxheba ngaphandleezemidlalo, ukubukela imidlalo, ukubukela i-cabaret, ukubukela iintaka, ukukhangela ekujoliswe kuyo, ukujonga ngeenkwenkwezi, uhambo lwezenzululwazi njl, iteleskopu yandisa i-horizons yethu, isisondeza kunye nehlabathi, izise amava amatsha okubonwayo.

I-telescope binoculars iteleskopu ephambili ibandakanya amanqaku kunye neteleskopu ye-monocular, indlela yokukhetha iteleskopu? Ngokuqhelekileyo sebenzisa i-telescope ngamaxesha angama-7, amaxesha angama-8, amaxesha angama-10, afanelekile kwimidlalo yangaphandle, umculo, ukubukela ukhuphiswano lwezemidlalo; iteleskopu amaxesha angama-20, amaxesha angama-30, amaxesha angama-60, alungele ukujongwa umgama othe qelele koko kujoliswe kuko, unako ngokuzeleyo ngakumbi iinkcukacha zento ephawulweyo, njengokubhabha.

Iteleskopu ayiphinda-phindwa kweyona inkulu ngcono, kungcono uyikhethe ngokosetyenziso lwazo, usetyenziso lokuqala lweteleskopu umhlobo uhlala ebeka phambili ngokumfameka alandele iimfuno eziphezulu, umzekelo ukubona iimitha ezingama-200 kude neentaka zosiba. Ukuba iteleskopu inokwanelisa loo mfuneko, ngoko ukuyithwala uhambo kungumsebenzi wokwenene.

Iingcali ezininzi zicebisa indlela yokukhetha iteleskopu, iteleskopu yebhayinotyhutyhutyhutyhutyhi ingcono amaxesha 7, amaxesha 8, amaxesha 10, iinkcukacha zeteleskopu ineemarike enkulu ngokwaneleyo, ukukhangela iintaka zesebe perched okanye umkhondo iintaka ezibhabhayo, okwesibini, ukukhulisa emodareyitha ngesandla ebanjwe ngokukhawuleza ukufumana ekujoliswe, ubunzima bayo nayo ayikho uhambo kumthwalo.
