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.

Meade Telescope Information

With a need for high quality space telescopes, Meade Space telescope was born in 1972. The vision of the Meade Company was to create a product which could be easy to use, for the beginner, and also provide more advanced Meade Space telescope for the advanced space telescope user.

The beginning of the Meade Telescope Company spawned lots of excitement. For the first time a mass produced space telescope was made that was of value to beginners and advanced astronomers. Since the beginning, the Meade space telescope has been popular, and has received a lot of orders.

You can be sure that you are buying quality when you buy a Meade Telescope. Everything you need to start gazing the sky and see the stars is all included. The quality of Meade Space telescope in spite of being a mass produced space telescope, is unprecedented. The reason being this is not like a Mechano set and can’t be mass produced with the same quality in mind. A space telescope needs very good optics to be of use. Low quality optics on a space telescope will destroy your chances of seeing some of the greatest sights in the universe.

Like consumer electronics, the Meade Telescope Company also has a variety of Meade Telescope models – for various needs. One of the space telescopes you will find is a Meade reflective space telescope that has computer capabilities and a manual mount so that it is easy to move around and adjust. Another model is available with a curved glass edge that is good for deep space viewing. Their final model is one that has large apertures that will provide you with high quality viewing.

Another factor is the space Telescope Mount, and Meade Telescope mounts are of a high quality. This is a space telescope made by people who actually love astronomy. The Meade Telescope invests a lot in research and development, to bring you the best space telescope for your money.

At the time of writing this article, there are 12 different models in the Meade space telescope range. You will hear of the Meade LX range and Meade ETX range. You will also find that you can get electronic space telescopes from Meade. These space telescopes with electronic movements can be a great feature to find objects in the sky extremely easily. However, if you want to learn about astronomy, a manual mechanism will enable you to learn where objects are in space. You also have the satisfaction of being able to find the object from any space telescope with the co-ordinates.

Choosing between a Meade space telescopes with an electronic computer controlled mechanism or a manual mechanism is going to be down to what you really want from your astronomy experience. If you want to get into astronomy to learn, and explore the universe a manual mechanism space telescope will provide more joy. If you want a space telescope to look every now an again, like a picture on the wall, then a computer controlled interface may be a better route. Though saying that with kids, a mechanical mechanism could lead to frustration.

The Meade range has progressed so well over the last 3 decades since Meade began making telescopes. Meade telescopes are mass produced, but the quality is immaculate. The optics on a Meade telescope are high quality, and you know when you buy a Meade telescope, you will have the best value for your money. The Meade telescope you buy will give you years of satisfaction.

Telescope Binocular
What types of objects can be easily spotted with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope?

(As in the objects, astronomical objects in the sky)

With naked eye, you can see Sun (through a filter for eye safety), the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and if you're lucky Mercury too (because it is very close to Sun.) Very occasionally, you could see Uranus (let Part joke) when he was in the opposition, which opposes the direction of the sun in the sky. Then there are nearly five thousand stars distributed almost also between heaven, perfectly mapped into 88 constellations. At any time you can see half the sky. Naked eye you can see up to a magnitude 6.0 stars. The problem is all appear as tiny dots of various colors. Color can be a good identification mark (Venus is a dazzling white, white-yellow Jupiter, Mars is red, brilliant blue Sirius, Betelgeuse is red and so on). All planets (Sun Moon & included) are much brighter than the stars and move along a path that is a circle (closed) called "the ecliptic (Zodiac). Planets (which means "vagabonds") may be noticed to have moved (against the starry background), the next day (Moon) or the much longer time unlike stars (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus in the order of slowness). The Sun's motion can be inferred. You can see a dozen Messier objects, which are clusters of stars (open or globular), a galaxy (Andromeda) and certain "nebulae" ("Orion"). Rarely one can see a comet in a part of the constellation is a misty blob or small elongated tail. These visitors are normally announced before-hand by many noise and cacophony of the learned among humans, so that you can not miss and be well prepared. Meteor showers have their own timetable, as dates of the festival. Information on the time (at night), the "Radial" point (address among the stars from which they appear) of each shower is widely broadcast in the era of 'internet'. Binoculars (7×50) has a 2 "or 50mm lens (35 mm off than I prefer) takes you down to 10.8 magnitude. With it you can just see the disks of planets (do not expect the rings of Saturn or Jupiter's red spot), but not Venus. It reveals a little more Messier objects. But with him, you feel at a distance of 34,000 miles above the moon at the same distance from which a point of view geostationary Earth. Instead of five miles out, you can see about eight hundred thousand. With a telescope of 3 "add a more open scale and you will see a million stars more as points or more galaxies, nebulae and many things more interesting. At this level you need to know the position of the object from a catalog of one million objects and turn carefully. There is so much work. If you have a better telescope (4 1 / 2 "or why not 6?), Even the vibration of the air will foolishly throw the image out of sight. The instrument must be secured with a full knowledge of the coordinates and stuff like that. Until then, you turned into a serious amateur astronomer labeling every small point of light if seen by the eyes or through the telescope and your "target" embedded in a collage as beautiful tiny specks of light. This is a pleasure to see "Pleiades," "Praesepe", "Jewelry Box", "Orion Nebula, Omega Centauri. Andromeda Galaxy is no evidence not in a good amateur telescope. Then you run from Hubble photos of the "net", etc. APOD

Bushnell Voyager
I do not see my turn new Voyager Reflector Telescope 900×114mm sky?

I got it today and I put up and took off all lenses cver and dust covers. there are three pieces of things that you put in the eye and I think its the magnifiiers. on them, he said 12.5mm and 8mm sr4mm. what do they mean? I put this in 12.5mm and i cannot see anything except black. I tried to focus on something, but I couldnt see anyting so I could not focus on anything. suggestions? I really want to use it! heres a link to the telescope intstruction manual: http://bushnell.com/manuals/telescopes/SkyTour_Voyager.pdf thank you! haha never mind. i reallly made a stupid mistake. What is expelled from the party of selsecope I'm at the bottom and you look up at the other end. I was wrong. : P that purported to be on top. haha and I thought the picture on the instruction manual was wrong. THANKS to both of you, however!

Did you remove parts _both_ front lens cover? They often come in two parts, like a donut and its hole, and you must remove parts _both_, so that all the end of the telescope is open. Try to use the telescope in daylight first, to accustom how it works, focusing on something at least a quarter mile away. If it is still dark, the telescope may need collimation: alignment of its mirrors. If you look through the focuser with no eyepiece in place, you should see the secondary mirror. In what must be a reflection of the primary mirror at the bottom the tube, and that reflects the upper end of the tube with the secondary mirror in the middle supported by three or four legs. All three mirrors have to be concentric. Adjust the secondary mirror in the center of the reflection of the primary mirror, and adjust the primary mirror of the central themes of the secondary mirror: ((o)) The three ocular provide different magnifications. You will use the 12.5 mm most: It has 72 power. The 8 mm gives 112x. The 4mm would 225X, but it is more power than this telescope is capable of. Use the 12.5mm! I recommend NightWatch by Terence Dickinson (Firefly) as a good book to help you get started.
