as a guy who decided to try this hobby for cheap (reasonably cheap) and gone through all of the struggles of this approach, i'd say that the tube itself is not as important as all the thing built around it. say, if you have an option to buy a bigger tube on AZ type mount vs. slightly smaller tube on equatorial mount (though, EQ1-type is a big NO period)- its most likely better to have an equatorial setup. equatorial mounts are slightly more difficult to wrap your head around, but they give substantial boost in comfort. same goes for accessories: cut your budget on tube and get better eyepieces and diagonal from the get go. bad total SETUP is what kills the interest in this hobby.

Found you tonight after having my head expanded looking at Saturn and Jupiter with my birding scope. Very useful, thank you.

15:20 - Most EQ mounts can also be used as AZ

I did myself a binoscope a APM 120 90 deg it is an awsome scope for visual astronomy,but quite costly you can also go for the cheper 120 or the 100 amp binoscopes I did buy a SD

Just wanted to say thank you very much for that video was very educational as I am a beginner….

Would a 6 or 8” GOTO dob be good for astrophotography?

@bluenose8442 Год назад

Nick, it’s worth saying that any visual scope for beginners will be great for the planets but people shouldn’t expect to see the level of detail in galaxies or nebulae that Astro photography can achieve. You’ll see a lot of grey fuzzies

@AstroExploring Год назад

Absolutely! Great point

Whats a good scope for deep sky objects

I bought myself a Sky-Watcher Heritage 130p and my only regret is that I didn't go for the 150p. Does anyone think it's worth upgrading or should I just stick with it ?

@CaptainDanger- 6 месяцев назад

If you have the money to upgrade, then upgrade.

An 8"dobsonian will fit in the back of a hatchback 1200mm across the back seats

I fit a 16 tom set of Ludwig drums in a small Honda car once...bass drum in the sun roof.

The downside of Dobson / Newton reflectors is that they need collimation, something a begginer woudn't want to do. They also have other disadvantage.

@40173k 8 месяцев назад

I bought a laser collimator which makes the job easy peasy. £27.

Nik can I use Stellarium with my ASIAIR plus? I know that Sky Safari is compatible but I actually prefer Stellarium. Thanks

@TicTacEnjoyer Год назад

Hi, I want to do visual astronomy but an 8" Dobsonian is a big too big and heavy for me. Could anyone recommend something lighter and smaller that is relatively at the same level?
