If you are new to astronomy, then you have come to the right place, this channel is all about you, the new astronomer.
Why is the channel called SMALL OPTICS?
Because this is the 60 to 150mm club. You wont find big expensive telescopes or fancy equipment here, just entry level stuff. But remember SMALL OPTICS DOSE NOT MEAN SMALL UNIMPRESSIVE VIEWS!
With a 70 or 100mm telescope you will be able to see, The Rings Of Saturn, Detail On Jupitar, Deep Sky Objects, Double Stars, and the moon is Just going to look fantastic.
Not only will I show you how to find and view these objects, There will be videos covering how to photograph all of the said objects with nothing more than a mobile phone and a small telescope.
Also, reviws of budget but quality equipment, tips-n-tricks, advice and much more.
My is aim is to keep this channel simple, and easy to follow, to show you how to use, and to get the very best views out of your new telescope.
Hope to see you on the next video.

Hey Jason, I love that you review so much of SVB’s lineup, you have by far the best reviews of their products of anyone on KZread. I’ve bought several of their products and happy with all of them Do you think you could review their helical focuser at some point? I’m considering it as a “fine tuning” focuser to use at high magnification as it drops into the standard focuser like an eyepiece but lets you focus in tiny increments, I think… thanks! My scope is very similar to yours, a 134mm Newtonian on EQ mount, but mine is f/4.9
Gee, took a whole five seconds to Google it and look at Celestron's website to see the product picture with the black cell.
With all that rambling on before getting to the point, I was expecting a casserole recipe.
Super helpful for a newbie like me - thank you very much for sharing this info!! 🔭
in terms of visability, M5 is both larger and brighter than M13 altho a significant portion of it's size is made up of the diffuse border of magnitude 9 to 10 stars, much more so than M13 the way I managed to locate it by using the "legs" of Virgo by forming a chain of 3 stars pointing in same overall direction and of similar distances and brightness with the "leg" closer to the celestial pole that 3rd star added will be right next to M5 the telescope that I use has a large 10inch mirror and 30x magnification whitch makes objects more distinguishable while also making the starfield in the telescope is pretty differend than what I see with my eyes alone requiring the use of pretty precise star hopping and pattern memorization, making the use closest bright stars to the objects themselves if there are any I can use
hey everyone, I have a 70mm celestron, is it worth to buy this diagonal? Or its just a waste of money for a beginers telescope? thanks :)
Oh thank GOODNESS. I thought you were going to try to convince us the moon isn't actually made of cheese.
Thank you, Jason, for making your channel so much fun! Even when some of the topics might not pertain to the type of telescope or equipment I am currently using, I enjoy watching and learning. I think we (your fans) would love to know more about YOU; ever consider simply making a "This is Jason" video and telling us more about yourself?
I have a Bird Jones Design Teleskop. Should I get still a good view? I have Celestrone Astromaster 114

Thanks Jason I’ve Just Bought this eyepiece it’s coming on Saturday can’t wait to use it like the video.
got the 6mm for $30. really can't complain, as it's better than anything in that price range
It's kind of like pixelating as you zoom in an image on your phone.
I have a Skywatcher 9mm Planetary eye piece but i used it for the Sun and Moon too.I'm guessing it would be good for splitting double stars although I haven't tried it for that.
I'll have to look for one of these eyepieces. The SVBony eyepieces that I've bought in the past did not disappoint. My favorite is the SVBony SV 131 25mm. The eye relief is very generous and gives a nice wide low power view without the vibration that is noticable with higher power eyepieces.
FYI gents and ladies. Take that 6 mm divide it by your F/ratio of your scope and that will give you your exit pupil. If it's below .5 mm I would be ??????. Eye glass wearers mostly.
I have 6mm, and 9mm, I think they are basically same eyepieces with integrated barlow lenses of different magnification.
My uncle actually has a 6mm 68° eyepiece from SVbony (redline). I borrowed it from him for a few weeks. I have tried it a few times (at night) and Jupiter was beautiful with it. Unfortunately I couldn't try Saturn, but I've already seen it with his telescope and the 6mm SVbony eyepiece. And the Moon is also beautiful with it. So I definitely recommend it👍 By the way I have a Bresser Messier 5" Dobson and my uncle has a Sky-Watcher Dobson 130/650 Heritage.
I wouldn’t recommend this eyepiece with telescopes of f-ratios higher than 12. It will push the magnification higher than their theoretical limits.
It’s worth noting that if you go below your telescope’s minimum magnification, you will run into issues like having a black circle in the center of your view. This eyepiece wouldn’t be appropriate for a scope with a focal ratio less than about f/6 or so (don’t exceed 7mm exit pupil) or you’ll run into these issues. SVBony does make the same eyepiece in a 32mm that would work better on “fast” focal ratio scopes
ON DSO eye pieces you cane push it .5 mm over the 7. So take 7.5 and multiply it by your f/ratio will give you your max eye piece.Thats your mln. focal length. your right f/6 would be the slowest f/ratio I would go. nything between 7 and 7.5 will work for you. That my give you a choice between3 or 4 eye pieices.
Anything between 7 and 7.5 will work for you. The other error is.Thats your Max. focal length. This old lap top doesn't react as fast as it once did.Its like me slow and old 76y. But I can still get my 8 ln. and 14 in scope outside when called for. Love that 14, THATS my winter scope and early spring, After that the dew is just to heavy here on the east coast.Not to mention the foggggg.
Outdoor lighting on the Big Island of Hawaii is not allowed to have more than 2% Blue Light Content.
Hi, I hope in a future video you will have Svbony SV136 lanthanum, argon filled. Greetings to you, you are great.
Thank you.
9mm 68deg (66) is a very nice eyepiece for the money you pay. Good for astronomy but not for day time observation. Works perfectly with a Barlow lens. Not perfect on the edge, kidney beans easy (at daytime very easy), has field curvature and some distortion. But the transmission is very good. Eye relief is long. The center of the field is sharp. It is pretty wide and cheap. To buy something much better you have to pay 4x more. If you can live with some imperfections, you'll be happy with this eyepiece.
.. and some light scattering - you may see a faint ray of light, if you look at some bright object.
Thanks Jason, I bought one of these last weekend and it's great to see your review! It's been thick cloud ever since so I've not tried it yet. Hopefully Monday midnight on I'll get a chance. Cheers
I love your reviews and i always listen to your recommendations, that is how i got my Svbony 40mm, the svbony camera, bahtinov mask and so many tricks and tips for observation! now i am getting that 6mm eyepice for sure! Greetings from Argentina!
Good video
Have the 20mm goldline.use 82 degree 7mm nirvana for planetary
Looks good. If I hadn't already shelled out £130+ on a 5mm Baader Hyperion, I'd be having one of those.
you made a better choice with the 5. It has a 20mm eye releaf you'll be a lot more relaxed viewing throw it.I have a 5 mm Baader from 2009 and also the 14mm/24mm rings.That gives youa 8.4 mm/7.1 mm/6.1 mm now you have 4 eye pieces. Keep looking up from N.C.
My wife hates your reviews. She says every time you review something I make another purchase.
Lol!! Apologies to your misses.
I have the 6mm & 9 mm they're pretty decent. I wish it was a 2 inch.
2" are for wide field low power eyepieces. Put this one into 2" adapter, if you really need 2".
I went to the Svbony site looking for one of these, but found a slightly different 6mm eyepiece instead, with a 68° FOV. It was ~€22 and €9 P&P... or €15 P&P if you want to dodgy import fees. I've bought a lot of stuff from the Svbony website, and the extra few quid P&P to dodge customs is fantastic, especially if you're buying something expensive. I think they probably send the items to Germany or somewhere, in bulk, and then there's no customs into other EU countries after that. Not sure if it works this way in the UK though..
The gold line (6, 9, 15, 20mm) have a 66 degree field of view (FOV). The red line (same focal lengths) have a 68 degree FOV.
Jason! I was waiting for a new video and there it is. I just ordered a 20 and a 6 the other week, your video did away with the doubts about my purchase. Yeah for the price svbony is great, thanks for the review and all the advices over the years... One day I'll have to come over to the UK and buy you a beer, or two 😂 Clear skies!
Nice eyepiece.
Hello Mr. Jason. I'm planning to start astronomy as a visual observer so that I'm looking for a telescope. After researching a lot of days I found an Indian company named Edisla (I'm an Indian😊) is selling a scope with parabolic mirror exactly like the Orion Starblast 4.5 reflector dobsonian, with some better accessories like a 10 & a 20mm plossl eyepieces and a 3x achromatic Barlow. I already made up my mind, but still need an expert opinion. SHOULD I GO FOR IT? And love your videos ❤
On Amazon at 33 pounds.
I have the 6 and 20 mm ones and both are great. I like them a lot.
I can second this!
BST starguider Ed better in my opinion 21mm eye lens.60 degree field of view 16mm eye relief sharp edge to edge performance.2 separate ed glass elements.wind up eye cups for comfortable viewing.rubber clad body.superb flat field around 40 pounds on Skies the limit eBay if you buy now otherwise 50 pounds!range is 3.2 5,8,12,15,18 and 25 mm.
Hi Jason. I have that 666 e.p..came with the 4 bundle package. Haven't used it yet. Good eye pieces for the price. Thanks.
Hello, please suggest a cost effective easy on pocket DSO astro camera.
Hi Jason! That looks like the orion Expanse 6mm eyepiece.clear skies!
Yes, it's basically the same eyepiece, as well as Angeleyes 6mm FMC 68 Degree that you can buy for less than 20 pounds with free 10 days delivery from one well known Chinese marketplace.
first :D
Obviously a set of fixed eyepieces are better but you have the neighbors crowded around and rather than fumbling with several eyepieces, you can do everything with one.
I disagree about the eye relief. I have the SvBONY 7.2-21.6 premium zoom eyepiece, so I can't speak to the 8-24 one. The one I have is more expensive (although still reasonable). I have glasses and as long as I put the eye cup all the way down at each magnification, the eye relief is fine. It's not great in that I have to put my glasses up against the eye cup but I can see the whole view in the eye piece at every zoom setting. I haven't checked the coma and chromatic aberration yet but I will get back to you on that (the mosquitoes chased me away before I could check. I have since remedied that problem).
I have a question for the internet and this felt like a good place to ask. I am considering getting into the hobby. I have some binoculars to get me started but my goal is to be able to find something cool like a quasar or a black hole and I want to be able to find these things for campfire night a few times a year. Am I in over my head? is it easier than it sounds? Can I get a good telescope for seeing that kind of stuff for 2-3 hundred dollars?
I’m sorry but 2-3 hundred dollars isn’t enough to get anything other than a department store scope. Decent ones start at around 450. And quasars and black holes are way too dim to view at all as an amateur without highly sensitive equipment such as the Hubble space telescope.
Telescopes are best for observing things like the sun, moon, planets, nebula, galaxies, that sort of thing.
@@Haiforse I thank you for tampering my expectations in a constructive way.
All sorts of colors except GREEN but I don't know why??
...I even get clothing company fashion companies getting in touch, I mean what's that got to do with astronomy... Astronomers, professional or amateur, wear clothes when they're observing, this usually takes place outdoors, and at star parties, and especially when it's cold outside.😁 Clear skies.🔭 🌌
Watched a few of your videos now and they're the most informative ones I've watched yet! Thanks!
Thank you! I learned a lot, likey "big" telescopes, one with a 900mm focal length and 114mm aperture, and the other with a 700mm f and 70mm aperture, can't work with the 4mm lens. However, my small backpacker telescope with a 400mm focal length and 70mm aperture can! Pretty wild.
😂 love your special effects.
