    Okay, honestly I have reverse apeture fever. That's why I am asking how good a 40mm and 60mm refractor are. I am obviously going to look at the moon with it. (P.S. Also what else can you with both of them except the moon and Sun?) Starry nights

    Thanks for the answer, but I was looking at 120x magnification for Juipter and Saturn, so is it okay for that?
  3. spacegalaxy
    Yep, it looks like that, but the finderscope is a bit smaller (or maybe just a trick of light)

    Just as the title, I want to ask just how stable is 80mm refractor with 400mm diameter on a EQ 1 mount and is it good (The mount) for visual observation? Any help is appreciated! (P.S I am looking for a good grab n' go scope, so please no comments like 'The telescope is useless!!') Starry nights

    That's a really good photo! The stars in the core of the cluster definitely look sparkling diamonds! Starry nights

    I am from India, so what do you think of these: https://tejraj.com/celestron-upclose-10x50-binocular.html https://tejraj.com/bresser-hunter-10x50-binoculars.html https://tejraj.com/celestron-upclose-20x50-binocular.html

    Was it first hand or second hand? I am asking because some people have a really good time with it and also thanks for all for the suggestions! Bino vote are 3, UHC are 0, I would like to see the reason for binos! (Could you please elaborate @Peter Drew?) Starry nights

    Hello! I was looking at an UHC filter as my next upgrade for my 70mm f/10 refractor, but at the same price I found that I could get a Celestron Skymaster 15x70 binos w/a tripod(Having weight capacity of 5kgs max). SO, having same aperture isn't consider an upgrade but the large FOV will let me see the wide nebula and star cluster BUT I could get UHC filter which will improve my views, but the FOV will be tiny, so what would you do in this situation? (Also, other upgrades are welcomed) Thanks for reading my query!

    I am thinking of an upgrade, and the binos are so cheap that I am drawn to them, so what can I see? Celestron Skymaster 15x70 (4.4 deg fov): https://tejraj.com/celestron-skymaster-15x70-binocular.html Also, can I make a tripod for these or should I buy them? Tripod: https://www.amazon.in/PRO-Tripod-Camera-Operating-Height/dp/B095WFFMB1/ref=sr_1_5?crid=37FG43JW6R9HH&keywords=binocular%2Btripod&qid=1648274102&sprefix=binocular%2Btripo%2Caps%2C477&sr=8-5&th=1 Also, what about these book: https://tejraj.com/night-sky-observation-book.html All comments are accepted, thank you! Starry nights

    This is the favorite observation report I have ever read! The idea that you can see many thing in that small scope, which is ultra portable is really good. I am looking forward to seeing more observation reports from that ST-80, it inspires me to bring my 70mm out and observe! and finally nicely written post! Starry nights

    That tube holding the lens looks like a bottle! Also, plain aluminium is the best tube material, it looks very nice! (P.S. Can you add some more pics? I would like to see them!)
  12. spacegalaxy
    Thanks for the comment, I can't thank you enough! Also, a bit of confusion, which Celestron Barlow do you mean? The cheap one or the Omni Barlow or some other one? Other than that, there are no doubts and once again thanks you!

    The look of the Bresser scope..... It looks amazing! I wonder ho it performs on major planets and double, and are those setting circles on the mount? This scope with its mount just looks elegant Starry nights!
  14. spacegalaxy
    I am pretty sure it will be a beauty on deep sky (Widefield!) 😉 Clear nights
  15. spacegalaxy
    I just love the look of small maks! This one looks definitely cool and I love how the finder is like 1/2 the size of the mak! Would love to know it's peformance though
  16. spacegalaxy
    I didn't knew that Baader made a Herschel wedge, and tbh it seems like you are growing a massive diagonal group 😉
  17. spacegalaxy
    That Diagonal looks just like the Bresser 2inch diagonal, are they same?
  18. spacegalaxy
    Is the Lunt diagonal a Herschels wedge? Also it looks cool!
  19. spacegalaxy
    What's the smallest scope you have own? Also, please include performance and details (Like aperture, focal ratio etc) Clear nights!
  20. spacegalaxy
    Show us which diagonal you use! (Company and type) Starry nights!

    Thanks @vlaiv I was thinking of a pipe mount, but it is very hard to make the slow motion controls, so can be able to do planetary observing w/o slow motion controls? Again, thanks!
  22. spacegalaxy
    After a response from a few people, I am thinking of getting a alt-az mount w/slow-mo controls but the prices are very high, so can I make one at home? Also, the other reason is that the one I was looking at was suspicious looking like it could be displaced by a simple breeze, so can I make a slow-mo control mount or will it be an uncompleted dream?
  23. spacegalaxy
    Yes, I know it is a stupid title, but mainly I wanted to ask that I am getting a new mount and I looked at Mount which has no slow-motion controls, but then I saw a telescope (Which has same specs as my first scope) has a EQ wedge and slow-mo controls into it, so are the slow-mo controls worths spending 120$?
  24. spacegalaxy
    Ok, I am seriously looking for a upgrade, and so I am looking at this scope: https://tejraj.com/70-700ng-telescope.html It is the same as my current scope but with a different mount. So, my first telescope's mount is broken, So I might get this, with slow-motion controls which will help me or I can get this: https://tejraj.com/az-mounts.html Which is a only mount for my telescope. So what should I do? Also the second product I mentioned only shows a mount head not a tripod. So will I have to build it?
  25. spacegalaxy
    There's only one word to describe it - COOL! Seriously that mount looks so sturdy, that I could mount a 18inch Newtonian! (May I also ask what telescope that is? It looks good with that mount!) (P.S.Also, you misspelt tripod, you wrote trippd)
