Novice astronomer with a new telescope!?
Hello every1, I received a Sykwatcher Donsonian telescope for my birthday yesterday with 200mm/1200mm two lenses of both a super Plossl is 25 mm and 10 mm for other 2nite I had my first look and I met the moon with 25 mm and looked great! but find other things was very disappointing, these lenses are too weak to see anything but the moon and distant stars?? Of course I'm in South Australia, I saw a star map for month in the southern hemisphere and I should be able to see Mercury, Venus and Mars. But I have to buy different lenses and a Barlow lens to enchance my veiwing?? Thanks:)
Paulina Congratulations on your new telescope. You find that an 8-inch are much, especially from a dark location. There are many nebulae, galaxies and clusters of stars are easy targets for her, especially from a dark location. The eyepieces that came with your telescope to work well on planets, but keep in mind Mercury, Venus and Mars are low in the western sky after sunset. Mercury is only 40 percent larger than the Moon, and Mars is about 200 million miles away from us in the away from the sun from us. The same is true for Venus. Not your telescope, the planets are not in a good position to observe, and Mercury and Venus almost, but not are rather monotonous in amateur telescopes. Mercury is too far and too low on the horizon in the evening of surface features to be visible, and weak features can be seen on Venus are not more than the weather in hell is stifling systems passing through an atmosphere. I instead would focus in Jupiter, using the 10mm eyepiece to get started. After the telescope is cooled to room temperature, a 2X Barlow or 7 or a 6 mm eyepiece will show a great amount detail in the turbulent atmosphere of planets. Uranus and Neptune will always look like a pea green or blue in the telescope, even a big one. Saturn is view at this time, but in a month or two, you can get up early and catch it before dawn. The main things you can see right now are the hordes of clusters stars and nebulae that are concentrated in and along the Milky Way. I suggest you try Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae and the Eta Carina nebula, although the moon at this time. Then look again when the moon is absent. Now that you own a telescope, I would look for a local club. You can not treat all kinds of accessories before you buy. Also help you find a dark place so you can see fainter objects than he could from home, if you live in an urban area or suburban. In a club, will also meet like-minded people who are beginners or veteran observers of the sky, you can be very helpful when you have a problem. You need a chair or stool, a star atlas and a red filtered flashlight at this time. A narrow band nebula filter and a box to store accessories in is highly recommended. Light pollution is a real problem, and a narrowband nebula filter offers a partial solution. I would buy the first, then possibly a 2X Barlow to 2.5 times in that order. Buy a good, inexpensive will have a severe cost to the eye. As for the eye, there are many many good options out there but it comes down to what you can afford and what interests her most eye Some are better for galaxies and nebulae, the others are better for the Moon and planets. Some are really good versatile performers. Wait longer to buy more to get your bearings and get some observing under his belt. Then you can buy with confidence eye to suit their interests and budget.

White Baytronix AstroVenture 4.5" Reflector Telescope Fast f/4.4 EQ Mount
List Price: |
DescriptionRich-Field 4.5 Inch Newtonian Reflector Telescope. Possibly the best reflector telescope value available today, this 4.5" scope boasts a short 500mm focal length. As a result, this scope packs a super-fast F/4.4 F-ratio, making it an extremely powerful instrument for wide-field and deep space astronomy. With its tremendous light-gathering power, you can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep space Messier objects in dark skies. You can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon you'll spot the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Included is an adjustable full-sized aluminum tripod with a built-in accessory tray. This scope has an Equatorial Mount, so it can be polar aligned to track the movements of stars parade across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope with a smooth, steady motion. An optional right-ascension motor drive is available. Two medium power 1.25" diameter Plossl eyepieces (25mm & 10mm) and a Barlow 2x lens are included. Additional 1.25" eyepieces are available. Also included is a dust-free cleaning cloth, a map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare, and a poster of the solar system. The primary mirror is collimated (aligned) at the factory, but the scope does not include collimation aides, tools or instructions. All reflector telescopes show an inverted image, so purchase an optional erector eyepiece for daytime terrestrial viewing. Because the included paper instructions offer limited guidance, we provide buyers with an online full-color photograph, step-by-step assembly guide so you'll be up and running without having to struggle with a complex assembly diagram.

Celestron 52268 C90 Mak Spotting scope (Black)
List Price: |
DescriptionCelestron’s 52268 90mm Maksutov Spotting Scope delivers excellent high power optics in a compact, affordable package. The 52268 package includes a backpack style soft carrying case, an 8x21 erect image finder scope, a 1.25 inch size correct image 45* prism diagonal, and a fully coated 32mm plossl eyepiece for a magnification of 39X. The Maksutov-Cassegrain design of the C90 uses a combination of mirrors and lenses; this “folded” optical system has a focal length of 1250mm in a body only twelve inches long. The Maksutov design delivers high power views without a trace of the chromatic aberration, also called blue fringing, that can distort high power views in competing refractor style spotting scopes. At 40X magnification where some low cost spotting scopes start to seem fuzzy, the C90 is just getting started. The C90 uses the same 1.25 inch eyepieces used in astronomical telescopes. The standard equipment 32mm plossl eyepiece yields a magnification of 39X, but many other eyepieces can be used to vary the magnification. The Celestron model 52268 seems very well built, with excellent multi-coatings visible on the front lens. The real beauty of this 90mm Maksutov spotting scope, however, is in the view it offers. When I use an optional 12.5mm eyepiece to look at Jupiter at 100X I can clearly see Jupiter’s major cloud bands as well as its four moons. When I look at the Moon and stars I can easily push the magnification to 200X with an optional 6mm eyepiece. When I look at birds in the backyard, I’m treated to delightful views full of vibrant color and crisp detail. With a close focus distance of only 15 feet, the detail and texture I see is simply amazing. High magnification viewing requires a solid tripod, of course. Celestron’s Heavy Duty Altazimuth Tripod comes with slow motion controls to allow the scope to be pointed precisely, and I can clamp the dovetail base on my CG5 mount for astronomical use. The other drawback to high magnification viewing is a narrow field of view; high magnification makes it hard to follow moving targets like birds in flight. Overall the Celestron C90 Maksutov Spotting Scope does a fine job as a companion to good pair of binoculars. The C90 also doubles as a portable astronomy scope; it won’t show the flag on the Moon but it will show thousands of craters on the Moon as well as showing the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Compact and portable Excellent high power optics Upgradeable with 1.25” eyepieces Adaptable for astronomy and photography Cons: Not waterproof The Maksutov optical design is recognized for being a portable design that is easy to use and has a variety of applications, making it an excellent choice for both terrestrial and astronomical usage. This C90 Mak has excellent optics with razor sharp images over a wide field, along with built-in T-adapter threads for adapting SLR cameras. It comes with a 32mm eyepiece, 45° erect image diagonal, and 8x21 erect image finderscope. Features
