    3 days later
    I ordered some accessories, the accessories: Solar filter, 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, 5mm, 10mm, 25mm 50mm eyepiece, Some camera filter, 2x barlow, 3x barlow, another 3x barlow, 4x barlow, 5x barlow, and lots of technology for focus, adapter,wifi adapter, And another telescope bc i ordered the wrong one, I tought the telescope was celestial, but i bought a skywatcher. So i bought another telescope. [Based on a true expensive story :/]

      Yeah that 4x and 5x was pointless there is maximum limit at which you can magnify your telescopes native fl after that the view will become blurry not from the atmosphere but from the limits imposed by the aperture amd not only that but unless you live on a very tall mountain or a dry place the atmospheric wobble will ruin all the fine details on the planets

    • @LearnToStargaze
      @LearnToStargaze  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Eventually you’ll want to see a lot more than just two planets (those can be viewed easily in almost any (non-toy) telescope. That said, the best planet telescopes tend to be SCT’s like the Celestron C8 and similar. Budget telescopes for great views of the planets (and deep sky objects) tend to be Dobsonians. Aperture, the size of the primary mirror or lens, determines how much detail you’ll be able to see.

      Not really, is that all you really want a telescope for though? A 90mm Mak telescope will show you Saturn’s rings. Sometimes these scopes can be reasonably priced. A good scope should be fun to use though, but these are rare under about $250 these days.

      I think it’s about 80k for the 24 inch version, but the mount is another 40k or so. It also needs a pretty large dome, and generally a concrete pier. A reasonable budget to get set up assuming you already own the land would be $200k USD. My understanding is that a lot of wealthy amateurs use the Planewave.

    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
