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.

Can you please put the following major telescope companies end in sight?

Please rate the companies following the first of the worst in the manufacture of refracting taking into account the following criteria: price, quality / Optics, warranty, support, availability, reputation. The following companies Takahashi, Vixen, Astro-Physics, Tele Vue William Optics. Please also justify your choice.

Takahashi and Astro-Physics are the two on top of your choice. In the same league, but not in your selection of glasses are the TMB. Unfortunately Astro-Physics, while excellent, does not rank high on my list because they are simply not available in all (for me) reasonable period of time. You can spend a year or more before you can even get a waiting list. Me, I would like to take my telescope for a time before dying. This makes Takahashi and TMB TMB with the top choices for a wider range of products Takahashi. Manufacturing and quality is excellent circulation these telescopes. Other companies mentioned also build telescopes of excellent quality, but lack the range of equipment available. In smaller sizes of any of these other companies will provide an excellent telescope. It depends a lot on what you are looking for. Please Please note that people who buy these fields usually only buy them as optical tubes and provide their own mounts. If you want to buy a complete system, Takahashi then would be your first choice. To sum just phenomenal, they will help you set up all complete with go climbing and all goodies. But know that the accessories are sold Takahashi "à la carte", you buy each item separately. Unfortunately society frowns modern practice of selling the wife and children into slavery to finance these high-end equipment. So, good luck:) Adolph

What is a Barlow Lens?
A Barlow is a lens that is placed between the objective lens and the eyepiece of a telescope. It increases the effective focal length of an objective lens, thereby increasing the magnification. The idea is that 2 eyepieces and a Barlow will give you the flexibility of magnification of the eyepieces, and will give higher magnifications with less powerful eyepieces.
For exam…

Should I buy this Eyepiece for Saturn Viewing?

Baader Planetarium Hyperion Eyepiece: Comes in 3.5mm, 5mm, 8mm, 13mm, and more. But for $120 EACH I am thinking of purchasing just ONE for now.
I am awaiting shipment of my brand new Celestron OMNI XLT 150mm 6″ reflector, 750mm Focal Length, F/R=5
I was going to but the “complete set” from Celestron for $150 since it has like 5 eyepeices WITH filters AND a nice case. but should I just buy like 1 of the expensive ones that alot of people seem to love. I was thinking either the 5mm or 8mm to make Saturn look as nice as I can..

What do you all think??? Thanks alot everyone.:)

But you’re still in the 1.25″ eyepieces.

You should probably invest in a 2″ focuser – about $50 on EBay.

Then 2″ Eyepieces and filters. Start (with the filters) with a lunar filter and a nebula filter (Total on Ebay about $130), and a 20mm 2″ eyepiece from Owl Telescopes (about $75).

MUCH better viewing.

For Saturn I use a 15mm 70 degree AFOV with a couple of filters stacked to enhance the bands and the rings. BEAUTIFUL.
(I have an 8″ SCT from Celestron – one of the old manual Orange Tubes).

Cavaet: When you go to a 2″ focuser, you might have to add additional counter-weight.

Email me if you have any more questions.
