Smaller aperture telescope won't help any, because it's aperture diameter which defines telescope's resolving power and highest usable magnification... Assuming no seeing limit. To get sharp planetary views also that has to be good. Along with telescope's acclimation and its optical quality/colli...
I've been doing (probably way too much) research, but I'd like some thoughts on the potential benefits/drawbacks of a 127 or 150 Mak as a first telescope. I understand that they're good for planetary, but that FOV can be a problem with telescopes of such a high focal length, and t...
(and to a lesser extent the differences between your telescope and his) could explain the differences in your reported results (assuming the AFOV of the Redbetter's 55mm Plossl is not *very* much smaller than your eyepiece's 70-degree apparent field of view. Have either or both of you ...
Jaime the Just-Cheney dew shield is no longer produced . You can find one like it at Anacortes Telescope under name of Dew MASTER! Hope this helps #49 Jaimo! I'm just stunned! Or maybe pining for the fjords! Posts:8,602 Joined:11 Oct 2007 Posted04 December 2018 - 05:56 PM That'...
