In my experience with testing many tens of telescopes, it is obvious that Seestar has better correction of chromatic aberration, better said spherochromatism. In my opinion there could be FCD100 glass which is equivalent to FPL-53. Vespera C and Vespera P have a significantly worse correction ...
in late August. I was looking for the new Star Adventurer Pro v2 - none of these were in stock anywhere either. He told me they would be available again mid-September, that they were “on the boat.” I assume there is probably a container load or two on its ...
Celestron has several telescopes that include the StarSense Explorer system (such as the popularCelestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ), but the Dobsonian telescopes are their largest optical instruments with the integrated technology yet. The smaller tripod-mounted models are an affordable option, but I...
So whilst this is very narrow when compared to your average 8x42 binocular with a FOV of around 350 - 430ft at 1,000 yards, it is still a lot wider than what you get with most telescopes. This is why a binocular is great for scanning the sky and a telescope is great for focusing ...
Large telescopes bring objects in "closer" but at a cost: An object's photon-per-time count may fall below the human-made light scattering the sky. The rods and cones of your eye may not get enough stimulation to tell your brain a good story. Light pollution is the bane of amateur ...
NexStar telescopes plug into your computer using either a serial port (older models) or a USB port (newer models). However, even the newer models are just connecting a serial port emulator chip, so from the software's perspective it's always just a serial port. By default, telescope_server...
Out of curiosity, what where the focal lengths of the telescopes being used and what kind of scope? There is a fair chance that different scope set ups could influence this, no? Just saying they're the worst or not that bad doesn't really help anyone who's potentially going to buy the...
Page 4 of 7 - Celestron SP C102 - posted in Classic Telescopes: There is still the mount for the finder scope so maybe he lost it. I agree the current finder scope is really not convenient.
Page 1 of 4 - StarSense Autoguider troubles - posted in Celestron Computerized Telescopes: I recently purchased the autoguider and after attempting to use it for the first time, I ran into some big issues. My gear is a celestron nexstar 8se, Wi-Fi module
Celestron seems to enjoy overengineering their products. Look at the big, kludgy finder bracket and shoe that they include with their EdgeHD telescopes. I couldn't wait to remove that bulky mess from my 8" EdgeHD and attach a Synta-style finder shoe. ...
