4.5 "telescope is even worth looking through?
I was on my way to buy a Skyliner 8 "Dobsonian and was very pleased on all examinations and all those who recommended it. But ... my uncle came to my house and told me that his friend would give me a free telescope. I canceled my order at 8 "Dobsonian telescope and received the free, but made him be a Tasco 114mm diameter = focal length = 900mm coated optical. I havent got see Through this telescope, however, as there has been no clear skies but I wonder if I look through this telescope to be disappointed and become less interested in astronomy. If anyone has had any experience with this telescope or something please answer this question. (Also appreciate if you could name what I see and how much detail I could see) thanks.
Well, ..., Sean're in a kind of pickle, eh? Do you reject the gift from a relative (lower although it may be) or hold the gift of respect for your uncle? That's really the issue here and that's a tough decision. When you live in a contaminated area light more openness is needed not less. I'm afraid I be disappointed in the scope even though it is a gift. By the way, is it a new scope that may be returned or is a has been sitting in a garage unused for years because the owner could not take her out? If the former, then no return problem the more scope there is a reason why the scope has been neglected and is about to discover. So the conclusion is, do not think you will happy with the scope and it is best at first to reject the offer and take your lumps with the family in advance rather than grudgingly accepting the scope and frustrated with a lower-quality instrument that will not hold. I feel we are in this situation. Whenever the family is involved is always hard. No matter what the scope you choose. Try challenging the list below. It will give a great first step in using the scope. Note that not all objects are available at this time of year, so you have to plan your observations.

Celestron 21045 114mm Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope
List Price: |
DescriptionI love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114 Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount. Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about 45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114 brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine tuning just right. As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic, the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not worth the trouble. Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's Firstscope 70EQ. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Low cost Good optics Serviceable K20 eyepiece Cons: Wobbly mount Difficult to collimate Plastic finder and focuser Celestron PowerSeeker 114EQ 45 - 225X Reflector Telescope opens up the wonders of the universe to the aspiring astronomer. Amateur astronomy is a great hobby you can enjoy year-round, and Celestron's PowerSeeker Telescopes are the ideal choice for affordable stargazing enjoyment! PowerSeeker Scopes are quick and easy to set up, even for the novice... no tools required! Their sturdy Equatorial mounts are perfect for tracking objects across the night sky, meaning these Telescopes shine for moon- and planet-watching. All Celestron PowerSeekers include a tripod, full range of eyepieces, plus a 3X barlow lens. Specs: 114 mm aperture size; Includes 20 mm eyepiece for 45X magnification, 4 mm eyepiece for 225X, and a 3X barlow lens that triples the magnification power of each eyepiece; Newtonian reflector optical design; Fully-coated glass optics with high-transmission coatings for enhanced brightness and clarity; Sturdy German Equatorial mount, perfect for tracking objects across the night sky; Erect image diagonal, ideal for terrestrial and astronomical viewing; Comes with The Sky X Planetarium software; Focal length: 900 mm; Limiting stellar magnitude: 12.8; Resolution (Rayleigh): 1.22 arcsec; Resolution (Dawes): 1.02 arcsec; Light-gathering power: 265X; Angular F.O.V. is 0.9 degrees.

NEW Black 4.5" 1000mm Reflector Telescope F Ratio/ 8.8
List Price: |
DescriptionThe 114mm (4.5") Newtonian equatorial telescope with 1000mm focal length is the most popular size telescope for the more serious beginning or intermediate level astronomy enthusiast, and for good reason. The large light gathering power of this 4-½" telescope makes it ideal for deep-sky observation of galaxies, star clusters and nebulae, as well as lunar and planetary observing. This makes for a very useful and versatile instrument that can take an observer from the very first time looking through a telescope's eyepiece, through years of observing interesting subjects near and far in the night sky. This version of the 4½" Newtonian telescope offers more portability than the standard longer tube Newtonian without sacrificing power or performance. The short tube of this model is only 17 1/2" long and has a built-in correction lens, giving it all the focal length of the standard model, while reducing aberrations. This manufacturer has more than 15 years experience in the field of optical equipments Their OEM products such as telescope, microscope, riflescope, compass, etc., are all over the world. This telescope was manufactured in the very same factory that makes optical products for Bushnell, Tasco, Konus and many other name brand.This is an absolutely high quality product you can trust.
