r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub.Īre you yearning to marvel at the heavens? Have you been wanting a telescope but have no idea where to start? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the wealth of information and options out there? Low-effort content such as those complaining about the weather (we get it, clouds are bad), simple questions that usually result in one line responses (these should be posted in our weekly discussion threads instead), general 'shitposting', memes, etc.Titles should be descriptive about what you're discussing/posting. Titles should not be 'clickbaity' nor self-deprecating - we're all here to learn so there is no point in calling yourself a 'noob' and/or putting yourself down.Concept art is not permitted, nor is content not relating to visual astronomy/telescopes. Images must be taken by you, with gear which you own - remote or professional services such as DSW or Hubble are not permitted. This enforces quality, encourages discussion, and benefits everyone. This includes your gear as well as any processing you did to the image. Images must have a top-level comment containing acquisition and processing details.

Self promotion is only permitted to active members of the community. Not providing commentary, or posting content from a single source will be assumed to be attempts of driving traffic, which is not allowed here.

Direct links should be accompanied by commentary as a top level comment, and should be a source of discussion.
