If you want to avoid feeling frustrated and you don’t want to listen to countless instructions on how to get started on stargazing, Mr. Bragg is the man. Although I have a different telescope than the one in his video, his insight on the mechanics of telescopes was applicable and easy to understand. THANK YOU

[@hokep61]

Good explanation. That said, when I first got my 130az, (reflector) I too could see nothing. Turns out that the center screw on the secondary mirror had come loose and the secondary mirrow was facing away from the eyepiece. Fortunately, the secondary didn't fall out and ruin the mirrow. Took me a few days of research, plus extra equipment, to learn how and to do a proper collimation. Now the scope works pretty good.

[@deanmoncaster]

"do you have eyes? Are you blind? Have you taken the protective caps off? Are you actually looking at anything?" Were the answers I was expecting! I did all this when I got my first scope. Aligned it in the day which really helped at night!

[@dombeck221]

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzbin.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

[@davemmar]

This is an extremely helpful video. All beginners could benefit to watch it. I would like to emphasize looking at the moon first through a telescope. It is easy to locate and focus. After practicing on the Moon , planets, stars and celestial objects will be easier to find and focus.

I’ve been an astrophotographer for a few years now, advice: spend allot of time with binoculars learning the constellations. The North Star (Polaris) the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) Orion and some of the basics, get comfortable with these basic targets and your circle on knowledge will continue to increase with your interest. Learning to snow sky means you fall down allot, but you don’t give up, same with astronomy, never give up.

I'm not sure what the focuser on your scope looks like, but take a look at it and try to see if there is a screw, it's usually found in the middle, make sure it's not tied too tight. Keep in mind that this probably isn't a tiny screw that you would need tools to adjust.

[@kaczkinson]

usually focusers have a screw for blocking focus. if it's tight focuser won't move (and do not try to use force to do not destroy it; if don't want to move - try to find this screw and loose it). ahh - that movements will be tiny :)

Just set this up over the weekend. I have no trouble finding an object or focusing on it. My complaint is with the eyepiece itself. I've used both the 25mm and 10mm and I can't seem to get a good field of vision when looking through it. Sometimes my eyelashes get in the way, or something else seems to be obstructing the lens when I press my eye up against it. I can hover my eye just above the eyepiece so it's not touching it--there's no obstruction or eyelashes getting in the way like this but I can't hold my head completely still like this, so my target is constantly drifting as my head moves slightly. If i press my eye super close against the eyepiece then the field of vision gets super small, just a really small circle at this point. Are there any eyepieces that allow you to rest your eye at an exact distance so you have the same stationary and wide field of vision every time?

To align the red dot do you look down the telescope and see the red dot or look through the view finder on the red dot thing its self

@travelexplore1145: Look through the scope and get some object (such as a distant tree, church tower, etc) in the centre of your view and then look through the red-dot finder and adjust it until the red-dot is right on the object that you centred with the scope. This is best done in daylight.

[@JubeProductions]

I am new to astronomy and I had trouble setting up my Celestron Nexstar SLT 127 last night. It was my first attempt to take it out and align it using Sky Align. Since it was my first time I didn't know what to expect. Before I moved to the location where I was going to set it up and align it with Sky Align, I tried to calibrate the Finderscope with the telescope. That process went pretty east and I did it in my front yard while it was still light. When I got to the location the finderscope seemed to have moved, so I aligned it once again just as it was getting dark. When I went to setup the Sky Align using the handheld I couldn't read the LED diplay because it was moving too fast, and the font wasn't dark enough. Since it was my first time I didn't know it would be an issue. It was too hard to try and go to settings and adjust it, so I used the light from my flash on my phone to read it. I had trouble finding 3 bright objects initially. By the time I was able to find 3 bright objects the batteries were going dead and it wouldn't slew to the left. I also tried to setup the finderscope again, but I was having trouble with the red dot. It kept turning on and off when I touched it. The battery was brand new so I don't know what was wrong. Finally I had to pack it in because the handheld kept giving me an error 16 when slewing to the left, I just assumed it was the batteries because they were older. It wasn't a complete failure because I just wanted to get out and try it so I know what to expect. I will try again as soon as the conditions permit. I do have a question about the Finderscope, and I was hoping you could help. Last night the red dot was going on and off whenever I tried to move it and it was very difficult to align. It was about 45-50 degrees out so I'm not sure if that effects it. The battery was brand new so I know it wasn't that. Today I tried to align the finderscope while inside my house looking out the window at a corner of a house far enough away. I did not seem to have an issue with the red dot going on and off like I did yesterday. But I did notice that just touching the finderscope can move the red dot significantly. I would center the object in my eyepiece in the telescope, then turn the azimuth control knob and the altitude control knob to center the red dot, but it would move about significantly just by touching the finderscope. I assume that this isn't proper because if the finderscope isn't aligned with the telescope, then the sky align wont work properly. Any slight movement of the finderscope moves the red dot. I checked to make sure it was installed correctly and that the thumbscrews holding it down were tight. How do I keep the finderscope from being knocked out of alignment just by touching it? Do I have to align the finderscope anytime I move the telescope? and finally, does the cold weather effect the red dot going on and off?

WEll... I could see things, BUT the app does not show a correct representation of my sky, constellations, planets, and other celestial objects were degrees off than what the phone showed. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I am currently interested in two Celestron telescopes, the Starsense Explorer DX 102AZ, and the 130AZ. One important feature of my next scope is being able to use 2 inch eyepieces in the focuser. So far I have been unable to find out from any website, including Celestron’s, or for any review of the scopes if either/both will accept 2 inch eyepieces. Hopefully you can provide some illumination on this topic. Thanks very much. I would like to buy one of these soon, but it appears that they are more precious than valuable gems right at the moment, or just cannot be found, with back orders until April sometimes. Great review. I came back to watch a second time.😊
