    After long forums on dobs and refractors, here is the forum to post your mounts. Diy, Alt-az, EQ, all are accepted!

    That looks amazing! I wonder the trail in 1st Photo is a satellite trail 🤔
  3. spacegalaxy
    That's really fabulous! I really want to put it on my desktop wallpaper!

    Oh, but I can't find it in stock in India, so I think I will go for the orion I don't expect a baader view, but it will be an upgrade over my kellner won't they? Yeah, I was looking at the zooms because of that, they are lightweight and no need to take three eyepieces and a Barlow for a observing session Aso thanks for the detailed information @Second Time Around

    Ok, I checked it with the people on the other side (Cloudynights) and they seem to have a general consensus that it is good for it's money, here's the tread: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/713122-i-don’t-know-what-to-title-this-eyepiece-thread/ (Also, that isn't my thread)

    Those look fine, but with tax they are almost 200 quids!
  7. spacegalaxy
    Yes, it does ship to India, but with that kind of money, I would rather buy the skywatcher plossl's!
  8. spacegalaxy
    How much do you think is the shipping cost to India? Even if it adds up to 100$ it is pretty well in my budget, just a bit more expensive than the one I linked in the first post

    I found this, is this good?: https://www.telescope.com/mobileProduct/Accessories/Telescope-Eyepieces/Orion-E-Series-7-21mm-Zoom-Eyepiece/pc/3/sc/47/132267.uts?sortByColumnName=SortByPriceAscending
  10. spacegalaxy
    I tried, doesn't seem like it ships here, are there any other zooms, from major brands, for cheap?
  11. spacegalaxy
    I was looking at it, but it's out of stock in Amazon India, interestingly I couldn't find it anywhere else, do you know where I could find it?
  12. spacegalaxy
    Also, might as well add: The telescope is 70mm in diameter, 700mm in focal length. I am looking for a grab n go setup The speciation of the zoom eps: 7-21mm Fully multi coated Four lens eyepiece (?) Apparent field of view 30° - 43° Not parfocal Eye relief 33.0mm (I highly doubt that) Barrel security recess - No (What does the even mean?) Blackened lens edges - Yes Made out of aluminium
  13. spacegalaxy
    I recently found this: https://tejraj.com/multi-coated-zoom-eyepiece.html So, is this worth it? I am used to 25mm kellner (and its fov), but the 10mm is way too small, and the idea that I might do planetary, doubles and globular clusters in a single eyepiece is pretty exciting, and I can only get two plossl with that money so is this a good zoom ep?
  14. spacegalaxy
    Thanks! I got the link to work, is this it? http://irpoyser.co.uk/starfinders-and-eyepieces
  15. spacegalaxy
    So, fairly sharp = a bit blurred, am I right?
  16. spacegalaxy
    Ohh, I wonder what scope you were using, and what does the fairly sharp mean? Also, thanks for the great article, I will certainly try to find Uranus in my next session! Clear nights!

    Lens for plossl (Will these work?, He suggested them in the comments): https://www.amazon.in/Anand-traders-achromat-telescope-eyepiece/dp/B09716GG96 Also, I could not find a negative achromatic lens for cheap, so can anyone help me find one?
  18. spacegalaxy
    I saw many videos of making eyepieces, and most were of making ramsden eyepieces, but then I saw this: And it literally blew my mind! Also this guy made another video which caught my attention: So, are these projects feasible? Are there any other eyepieces that I can make at home?
  19. spacegalaxy
    Hmm, you should post the problem in the errors forum, maybe they will respond? I wonder why that happened...... P.S. Can you start a new topic or is it the same thing with posts? If you can't I think you can email them.
  20. spacegalaxy
    Wow, that is a monster of refractors, I wonder what the rod in the front of the mount is and connected to the refractor is?
  21. spacegalaxy
    Happy birthday to Pluto! The discovery of Pluto was what made me interested in astronomy, Amateur astronomers can make huge discoveries.......
  22. spacegalaxy
    Thanks for the information, I was going for the 12mm for that reason, and I got glasses, although for myopia I actually wanted to see DSO's, that's why I had gone for the 32, for planets though, I am thinking of a 2x barlow w/ the 12mm which provide 6mm, which will be used for planetary and with the 32, for observing the moon
  23. spacegalaxy
    These three scopes look amazing! I hope that I could build something like that one day especially @Saganite beautiful f/10, @Rusted folded Refractor and @mikeDnight 150mm scope!
  24. spacegalaxy
    Hello SGL! I have a rather keen interest in astronomy, but I only have a 70mm F/10 (700mm), but the ep's are not-so-good Kellner type, in which the 4mm, 10mm are trash, they are like pinholes. I am looking for an upgrade but telescopes are very expensive w/ international shipping. So now I am looking at these upgrades to maximise my scope's performance: 1. Red dot finder: Not much use for DSO's but I think it will be an upgrade over my stopped 5x24 finder. 2. Eyepieces: Omni 32mm for DSO's, Omni 12mm(?) for planetary (The Omni 12mm is not confirmed yet) 3. Making a dob mount. 4. Barlow (Not decided which one yet Additional upgrades will be posted and you can recommend me/ give me advice on the above upgrades
  25. spacegalaxy
    Thanks for that, I saw there link and there were many mirrors, but their out of stock, so I could consider that in future.
