At 4:14 as much as you have used your neighbor's chimney to sight your red dot finders have you ever wondered how the metal top of the chimney became dented or damaged?? Just a random thought.
is there any list of those, that follow these rules and avoid these red flags, asking as I am a newbie and looking to buy 1st telescope here in australia 🇦🇺
Hey John, im planning to get the Heritage 150p and was considering this instead. Should i just go with the Heritage 150 or should i go for the virtuoso 130? I cant get the virtuoso 150 since my budget is a bit tight. Help me out please
How about the Heritage 150 and the book 110 Things To See With a Telescope? The go-to is really just for finding stuff, but extra aperture books are even better.
@@LearnToStargaze I already have the 50 things to see on the moon and I'm getting the 110 things to see with a telescope with a telescope of my choice (which is now the heritage 150). Thank you!
@@pepe_the_frog713 That's the way to go, even as you saw in the video, when I actually went to use the telescope visually, I simply used it like a Heritage scope.
If you do the EXTREMELY simple math, you’d know the mirror on your telescope would need to be about 100 meters across to resolve the flag as a single pixel from Earth. Is your telescope too small or can you not do math? (I assume your telescope is too small).
I need to change the battery CR2032 on finder on my CeleStrone Nextstar 102 SLT. Anyone knows how to change it? I can see the CR2032 battery but I don’t know how to open up and change. Can someone help me?
OMG thank you for showing how to use the slow motion controls properly!!! You TWIST the knob. no idea how I missed it, but I’ve been pulling them up down, left right wondering why nothing is happening. I was getting really frustrated with not being able to track objects easily, and thought I’d made a mistake not getting a scope with go to
So peaceful. Looks like home. I bought a used Ioptron Skyhunter EQ/AZ. Now i have to wait it to get properly dark (at decent hour), Which takes almost 2 months. Our sunset is prox. 22.30.
I have an Apertura 8” DOB . I watched your StarSense “Hack” where you installed StarSense on your Dobsonian and decided to try the installation. Works great. I’m new to using Dobsonian and really liked this video. Got your Book and will be trying to complete as much of your book’s targets as I can. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experiences with the World.. bruce
I remember way back 80s, 33 mm camera attached and timer mount. Then 1990 sky wizard .90s digital camera replaced 35mm. 2000 smartphones and laptops wrre used,stacking images too create one image .
I got my first telescope age 13 1988.grandmother bought me a celestron 4.5 inch reflector on wooden tripod from local camera store. Still have it. Bought many eyepieces accesdories for it.the finderscope..though a small telescope without focus essentialy what it is,u was able too get objects stars nearly on spec using its cross bars. I mostly had to slew ,slow turnbtekescope vua turn knob.ibgot that good at it..star atlas book,star hop . But being a 4.5 its extremely limited. Jupiter showed 2 belts nothing ever more even using a 5-6 mm eyeiece. Saturn n rings always appear d as planet with ears kinda.nobring detail.see titan. As a tiny semi bright star. Andromefa was a grey fuzzy disk .m42 same .grey white whips.horeshead nebular unobservable. Think 70.mm reflector woulda show alot more detail
Hey man! I just bought the same model on astroshop and tomorrow it's going to arrive. I bought a 70mm refractor from omegon last week but got boring kind of fast after a few days and I started learning which telescopes are better and what kind of build types are good etc. What tips do you have for me, or what do you think I should expect to see from it? I do not see many reviews of the omegon 6 inch dobson sadly
David Lorenz's light pollution atlas is much more accurate than lightpollutionmap, it uses satellite data from 2022, while LPM uses data from 2015. Light pollution grows unfortunately, I need to drive for 3 hours to get into a blue zone
You cannot correct with an expensive eyepice an image distorted by cheap telescope's lenses. An f7 4 inch achromat might gather the same amount of light as an f7 4 inch apochromat but you won't see the same quality image no matter what televue eyepice you use.
I want a telescope recommendation at any price, any size, for the night sky, (moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies). Needs to be really good and have correct orientations, (up - down, left - right), in the eyepiece. If not, then it has to be able to accept a diagonal or something to correct the orientations, without any loss on the quality of view, thanks.
John, would you consider doing a work flow video on the using the SW150P Virtuoso with the AsiAir mini from start to taking images and downloading them for processing. Thanks for the consideration.
