I got a 8inch dob. So far only with a 26mm eyepiece. Is it normal that i cant see jupiter with that eyepiece? Its just a small white dot with tiny speks around it (moons) Id love to see more
@NewAstronomerАй бұрын
You could try it with a 10 mm and be sure your dob is collimated. Clear skies!
@sparklauerei1Ай бұрын
@@NewAstronomer i tried with a 9mm, but sadly i saw no more detail than the 26mm, it was just a bigger fuzzy blob with bigger dots as the moons. could be bad collimation i assume?

@@NewAstronomer I hope that you keep on making these great videos. By the way, Michael, there is an interesting new product under development at Pegasus Astro, the SmartEye. It is expensive, $1500 US, but if it matches expectations, it will provide an electronic eyepiece that will make your existing telescopes work under light polluted conditions, while saving images to your computer. We need to see reviews first in the astronomy magazines of course.

I am considering purchasing my first telescope. Prior to watching your video, I had decided on the Skywatcher GTI 130P. Would you recommend this telescope as a suitable choice for a beginner?

Sorry I don’t have any experience with that scope so I cannot recommend but it seems to have good reviews especially the one with GoTo and motorized tracking.

I only owned one scope before. It was a 6" Orion DOB. I saw cool stuff with it. Saturn, Jupiter, moons on some planets, and one of the Nebula (orion?). I forget. I could see how people start chasing size. Ironically it seemed Mars was one of the harder ones. I guess cause its small.

I bought a celestron powerseeker 127eq trash hard to manage trying to find objects even the moon can be a challenge it has a piece of glass in the focuser that hinders it more than anything the eq mount is clunky the knobs for following objects stick at times and run outta thread when following objects everyone don't buy it there's many other options that are simpler and just better all around

I picked a used DS2090 and the Autostar isn't very accurate despite 2 star alignment. The mount is too low and shakes too much when focusing. The stop in the tube was stopping the scope to 80mm so I moved it further down the tube. Moved the scope to a Celestron Heavy Duty Alt/AZ mount which is much steadier. What was really strange is the objective was flipped causing bad images at high magnification. I wouldn't recommend the scope based on the mount. Great video.

I don't understand the reason why you add powerseeker 127eq in the list 🤔🤔🤔. Once I owned this terrible scope. It is a hobby killer. It is very difficult to collimate and it never stay in place. It comes with low quality focuser and finderscope. Even to adjust the finderscope is a challenging task for this scope. It comes with 4mm eyepiece that gives 250x zoom and 3x barlow lens both are useless. The scope can't provide such high magnification (Celestron knows that). Celestron is cheating the customer. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCOP!!!!

Powerseeker or astromaster telescopes are actually not recommend for beginners. They are actually on many telescope black lists. There are much better telescopes like Skywatcher or Orion for the same price.

I'd love to add a PowerSeeker 127 to my growing scope collection. I currently own 6 scopes ranging from a 2.8" f/6 ED doublet to a 12" f/4.9 Dob, but I believe the 127 would feel a niche role that I'm missing in my scope storage room at the moment.... a trash can!! That's right, I'd love to find a Celestron PowerSeeker 127 or even a 114 to turn into a small telescope themed waste basket for my gear room.
