Telescope Camera
What is the best telescope and camera to take pictures with the space?

I am interested in buying one Telescope and Camera combo that I can use to make Nice, clear quality pictures of the moon, sun, space, the system solar, etc. What is the best model for that is affordable and has the ability to zoom in right?

Imagery is probably the aspect the most expensive of the passion for astronomy, so that you are looking for is probably not. To take photos of the moon and planets, you could get by with something like a camera Celestron NexImage with a laptop and a Dobson telescope. Orion Dobsonian sells reasonably well done, at reasonable prices. The StarBlast sells for about $ 200. You'd be better off with a little more which includes a 2 "focus. You can add a white Sun Filter the light in front of Dobson and take pictures of sunspots. If you want to take pictures showing solar prominences, and the granularity the Sun, how "cheap" to go buy something is a Coronado PST for about $ 500. You'll need a tripod for it. This range is only useful for observing the Sun. If you want to take pictures of deep sky objects, you'll need a telescope uses an equatorial mounting. Economic equatorial mounts are not stable enough for imaging. Avoid any telescope that comes in a box that tells you How much power it has. If she says Power 300! and you can lift, it's a toy that will be frustrating to use. You probably need to spend at least $ 1,000 to obtain a suitable medium with a Newtonian Reflector designed for imaging. Then you'll need a different device that you need for planets. Most people I know who take astronomical images have spent at least $ 5,000 in equipment. People are serious about this are often several times that. My advice is to find an astronomical society or club, and attend some meetings, and see what their members. You can also try to attend some parties "star" – they are gatherings of people who are very serious the hobby, and it is not uncommon to find at least one person at a star party that is imaging. Here is a link to some of my pictures: <http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/13640785> This is a link to a picture of Saturn and a friend I was with my hardware: <> http://i201.photobucket.com/ albums/aa51/Ben_Hanks/saturn140.jpg If you happen to be a reasonable distance from CT southwest, you can visit my astronomical society. <Http://www.bmas.org> Good luck.

UK Astronomy updates posted by e-mail?

Let me make some observation in astronomy. I have a pair of binoculars and a couple of Nice good books to start, but I live in northern UK where we do not get a lot of good weather for stargazing! Does anyone know a website or email newsletter that you email when conditions are good, also updates on what it takes to Out for Different? Thank you both look!

Two things, there is the weather and there's Guide Weekend Skywatcher the universe. Well for the time is about local so you better watch the news to him. You can also join a local club astronomical. They keep you abreast of the weather more than you want.

Monoculars Telescope
Is it good to buy a spotting scope or telescope instead?

I chose a monocular 80mm objective diameter and the variable magnification from 20x to 65x, it is good for me to buy instead of a telescope? (Consider that it costs about $ 190)

It depends on what you want to watch with her. telescopes are primarily for earth observation. They are not well suited astronomical observation, mainly because they only allow one end of visualization, which forces the head and neck in awkward positions when you look at objects in the sky. They also introduce additional prisms and / or lenses that reduce the amount of light they collect and introduce optical aberrations. A 80mm lens and 65x magnification will not give you enough resolution for more than sport more like the Moon and planets, where the openings of 150mm and a magnification of 200x are the starting points for real. Here are some pages with good information on beginner telescopes: http://www.gaherty.ca/tme/TME0702_Buying_a_Telescope.pdf http://www.scopereviews.com/begin.html http://observers.org/beginner/ jrfbeginner.html For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (John Wiley & Sons). You will have the most value for your money with a Newtonian Reflector on a Dobsonian mount, such as: ~ category_id = http://www.telescope.com/control/category/ Dobsons / pcategory ~ = telescopes / ~ VIEW_INDEX = 0 / ~ = 1000000 VIEW_SIZE http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/product . php? Class1 = 1 & class2 = 106 Buy from a store specializing in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online, do not buy large stores, discount stores or eBay as mostly what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try different telescopes one of their star parties: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/organizations

Plossl Eyepiece

Plossl Eyepiece

See the rings of Saturn with the Orion SpaceProbe 130

Sporting the classic long-tube Newtonian design, the Orion SpaceProbe 130 mm provides great all-around viewing performance. One minute you can be studying lunar crater formations at high power; the next, the ethereal glow of a nebular star factory. A few minutes later, the ringed visage of Saturn. All served in crisp detail by way of the Orion SpaceProbe’s light-gathering 130mm (5.1″) primary mirror of 900mm focal length (f/6.9).

The Orion SpaceProbe 130 ’s mirror lies at the base of the rolled-steel optical tube, which is outfitted with a smooth rack-and-pinion focuser. The Orion SpaceProbe 130 accepts 1.25″ eyepieces, including the two fully coated Explorer II eyepieces that come standard with the SpaceProbe 130mm: a 25mm for low-power viewing at 36x and a 10mm for higher-power looks at 90x. Also standard is a 6×30 achromatic finder scope to help home in on celestial targets.

The Orion SpaceProbe 130 comes on the sturdy EQ-2 equatorial model, with adjustable aluminum legs and accessory tray. Slow-motion controls allow fine manual pointing of the telescope and easy star tracking. Addition of an optional EQ-2M AstroTrack electronic drive enables the telescope to track objects automatically.

 The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST

The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST is a step up from the SpaceProbe 130 for the more serious beginning or intermediate stargazer who wants additional performance, particularly for targeting deep-sky objects.

The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST is indeed more compact than the standard Orion Space Probe model. The Orion Space Probe 130 ST’s optical tube measures 24″ long compared to 33″ on the standard Orion Space Probe 130. The focal length of the Orion Space Probe ST’s 130mm (5.1″) primary mirror is 650mm (f/5), yielding a wider field of view and brighter images for a given eyepiece focal length.

The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST has a primary diffraction-limited parabolic mirror, the same type used on much larger reflectors costing many times as much. On a short-focal-length design like this one, a parabolic mirror is a must for focusing incoming light to a point and delivering sharp, detailed images. Moreover, the secondary mirror of the Orion SpaceProbe 130ST is held in an advanced holder with thin 0.5mm metal vanes, to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss. These features combined with the included 25mm (26x) and 10mm (65x) Sirius Plössl eyepieces and quick-release 6×30 achromatic finder scope make this one sweet optical system for astronomy! It also includes a collimation cap and center-marked primary mirror for easy optical alignment. 

The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST comes on an EQ-2 equatorial mount with dual setting circles and slow-motion hand controls. An optional EQ-2M or AstroTrack electronic drive can be added for automatic tracking. The adjustable aluminum tripod is strong yet lightweight and includes an accessory tray.

Whether you’re looking for a better-quality first telescope or a portable instrument to complement your big Dob, you’ll love the Orion SpaceProbe 130ST.
