The BEST Things To SEE With The Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ... 🔭

[@ronniemation]

i tried using this last night to see jupiter. i couldnt see anything using the barlow lense but with the 40 mm i was able to see jupiter but with no details. isnt the barlow supposed to help with the magnification?

Can you get a vibrating base ? I'm thinking if you get to base that can vibrate at the same frequency as the atmosphere and you flip its phase it should cancel out the distortion from the atmosphere give you a much sharper and more detailed image

[@robglassey4517]

That's thinking :) Yes, you can actually get mirrors that fit in the focuser of some telescopes (with lots of electronics and money) that do actually vibrate to match the atmospheric wobble. Not so much for these telescopes though. Big professional telescope can even have a special mirror that they can bend and distort to make the image even sharper - it's called adaptive optics.

Olá, o espelho é parabólico? Pelo tamanho, se espelho esférico, tem relay? Estou interessado num refrator de 70mm da Celestron, e nesse refletor. Procurando informações. Obrigado. Daniel, radioamador, amateur radio PY3LTK

Eso creo

you get a 25mm and 4mm and 3x barlow

Its a spherical mirror in the eyepeice is a correction lens. This makes collimation impossible without removing that lens first

[@astronomyscope]

Hey Neil. Thanks for sharing.

[@tuunaes]

Collimation won't save it from fast spherical (if even that) mirror being blur generator. It has no corrector, but cheapo Barlow from same rejects dumpster as mirror, which does absolutely nothing to any aberrration of the primary mirror. (and likely itself degrades wavefront some further by low quality) Whole design is pure scam.

Bring one to any star party and turn it into a pity party 😂

quick research will show you that this is rubbish... unusable.... for beginners, get a tabletop dobsonian for 300e

[@richardmclaugfhlin65]

Audio is muffled and useless.

[@astronomyscope]

At times, it is. Thanks for letting me know. Working on resolving this for future videos.

[@DavideMazzetti]

I could hear it perfectly well.

[@richardmclaugfhlin65]

Good for you, then.@@DavideMazzetti

[@blitzcourt5021]

Turn your volume up. Audio is fine.

[@richardmclaugfhlin65]

@@blitzcourt5021 Your anecdotal experience does not apply to the world.

We don’t here to listen lecture in fact show the results
