Best Beginner Telescopes

This video shows the best beginner telescopes priced less than $400. I am a retired Astronomy Professor. I do not make any money or benefit in any way from my recommendations. Unlike many Youtube reviewers, I am not an Amazon affiliate. I make nothing when you make a purchase. I purchased these scopes with my own money. Nothing was given to me.
