Necessary items for astronomical stargazing can be different according to personal needs and experience. The following are some common necessities for astronomical stargazing:

Telescope: Telescope is the core tool for stargazing, which can help you observe celestial bodies in the sky. There are many types of telescopes to choose from, including refractive telescopes and reflecting telescope, as well as telescopes with different calibers and focal lengths.

Celestial Atlas or Star Map: Celestial Atlas or Star Map can help you identify and locate stars, constellations and other celestial bodies in the sky. You can choose the traditional printed version or use the mobile phone application to get celestial information. Astronomical master software is recommended, which contains abundant information such as the position, brightness and rising and falling angles of the stars.

Red flashlight: When looking at the stars, you need to adapt your eyes to the dark environment, so using a red flashlight can reduce the interference to your vision. Red light will not damage your night vision, so it is very suitable for stargazing.

Contents and observation logs: Use the contents and observation logs to record your observations, discoveries and observations. This is very helpful for tracking and remembering your observation experience.

Celestial photography equipment: If you are interested in celestial photography, you may need a camera, adapter, telescope focal length reducer, tracker or other related equipment.
