  What do you recommend since Orion has shut its doors? I have a four year old and I’d love something I could use with my homeschool group (so a range of younger kids.) I bought a Zhumell Z100 but it looks like it might have been discontinued so I’m returning it. The Explore Firstlight doesn’t have the best of reviews and seems a little cheapy. I was going to buy the Celestron Omni AZ 102 that you recommend but it has Bluetooth. I’d rather buy something without Bluetooth since I’m using it with little kids. Thanks!

  hi i’m looking to get a dob as first telescope. i mainly love clusters and want to see them without going on a laptop etc would a 12 inch or 16 inch dob do the job?

• 
  @LearnToStargazeКүн бұрын

  Bigger is definitely better, but a 16 inch dob is challenging to move around by yourself. It needs to be on wheels or basically be fixed in one location (not moved in and out of a house). Also, sky darkness matters more then the telescope.

  What do you think of the Celestron NexStar SLT 6 as a starting telescope? I'm looking for something portable in case I decide to upgrade in the future. With a budget of 1500 euros, I plan to invest in a power bank and a complete beginner’s set with filters and optics. Does this seem like a good approach?

  The 6 evolution might be a better scope for future upgrades if you can swing it. It’s slightly more portable too.

  Meh, the bigger, the better that my motto also f4 newtonians are like the Swiss army knife of the telescope world add a Barlow you get a planetary set up and a reducer you get an ultra fast astrograph add an eye piece and you get a very good visual setup but generally speaking the bigger the aperture is the more light you gonna collect which is both better for astro and visual

  Aperture is king!!!! 70mm barely gets you craters on the moon! But….the most important part of any telescope is the mount! If it’s not VERY rigid and stable, it’s a shake fest that will end people’s initiation in the hobby right then and there! You would be better off spending 300 on a 3” table top reflector if you’re looking for cheap! You be even better off with a 6” or 8” dobsonian!!!!!!

If you want to take photos, a small APO refractor is a great place to start. If you want to stargaze, a Dobsonian is the way to go.

  One thing missing from these presentations is how dark? I have been using Seestar in Bortle 4.5 (sqm reads 20.3). I see one use is as a gentle intro to image processing. Most simply by post-process the final jpeg (i darken the sky) or download the stacked FITS file (which gives you 16 bits per pixel) and manipulate it with Siril (suggestion from Cuiv - thanks) or redo the stack.

  I’ve found that higher quality eyepieces help with contrast and clarity, these typically cost about the same price or more as the telescope, a 10mm Baader Hyperion for example. This telescope has a very small aperture, so that’s going to be the limiting factor.

  Excellent advice John! 5G?! Huge THANKS for that tip. Now I know as well. I've been assuming it was the ASIair mini, and living with it for a year 🤣. That said, its only been annoying when taking flats and short exposures. Tip: ZWO have an M54 filter drawer for this camera. The duo is a great camera! If you want to 1sec guiding (through the filter) you do need to use high gain though. I find 2-3 sec exposures avoids chasing the seeing most nights, and that lets you drop the gain if you want to. Also at 1sec its harder to maintain a lock on the guide star when the targets get low in the sky. I'm actually using 5 sec on the main camera for autofocus and (for me) that's a lot more of a drag than the delay in wifi image transfer. Alas the light pollution filters are needed in Bortle 7 and this is the price you pay. From my latitude at this time of year all the best targets I can get to from my balcony are very low south west. I'm getting maybe 20-40 mins usable data each night, but it all adds up if you can get a few sessions in. I have a similar setup for my grab and go rig: an FF80+reducer (clone of Askar 80 PHQ) on an AM3+PE160+TC40 with a 2600DUO. Its lightweight at 16kg all-up (excl. battery) and I can easily carry it fully assembled. The clean OTA (without a guidescope) slips easily into soft luggage too. Just three bags (OTA, Tripod, Mount) plus a Jackery 500 make it a dream to transport. I also use a pegasus pocket powerbox micro (attached to the tube ring near the saddle) to help with cable management, power distribution and dew control. So only 3 plugs need to be disconnected to dismount the tube assembly. The dewstraps, PPBmicro, ASIairMini, 2600DUO & EAF all stay attached when packing. I use Alex tech sleeves tie wraps and tape to bundle and tidy all the OTA wiring semi-permanently - the reduced wear and tear on the plugs adds to reliability. In contrast, my big rig (EON 130APO) needs a top of the range camping cart, and on the AM5 mount weighs 35kg (this was 70kg when it was still on the EQ6). Its too big for the balcony and needs set up every time on the (communal) roof terrace. That's nearly an hour of work. Part of the reason I went small.
