    I didn't understand the difference in those two, can you explain?

    Ok, checklist time Covering the head with towel can help dark adaption(and help keep mosquitoes at bay)✅ Not using a phone(Or using a app in red mode)✅ Sitting quietly(No, I don't) and waiting for good seeing moments (This one - ✅) Not using too much magnification✅ Using averted vision ❌ (I tried but I can't get it to work, can you tell me how?)

    Also, I didn't try going to a dark site, because I can't go another 30 minutes to a Bortle 4 skies, and even if I do, which I did, there is a large factory which emits smoke, so it is worse than my Bottle 5 backyard

    I have already done what I could except buying better eyepieces!

    What do you think of Zhumell z100, with it's pros and cons?
  7. spacegalaxy
    Thanks, I will look into it!

    I went to Meade's site and saw Cemax eyepieces, which in their discription says that it is specifically designed for H-alpha viewing, which is also used for Nebulae, so does it improve nebulae viewing? Sorry for the really stupid question, I am new to the world of astronomy! Link: https://www.meade.com/eyepieces/solar-eyepieces/coronado-cemax-12mm-eyepiece.html

    Asking Mods to close this thread as my question is answered, and new questions are posted in another tread

    Bird-Jones has two glass pieces in front of the secondary mirror and barlowed Newtonian have a Barlow lens in the focuser
  12. spacegalaxy
    In the end both designs are different

    I meant bird-jones but bird-jones are different from these cheap reflector

    Ok, straight to the topic, I have a budget of 150$, which could buy me a Zhumell Z114 table top dobsonian, but I don't know if it has international shipping charges, I asked it on a discord server, and they said that it most likely has shipping charges, so now I am looking at the Zhumell Z100 table top dobsonian, which costs around 99$, and hopefully the shipping chrges are/below of 50$, but here are my main concerns: 1. If it somehow gets out of collimation, there is no way of adjusting it (Because it has a fixed primary) 2. I don't know if it is a upgrade to my 70mm f/10 refractor (But it will give wider field of view, which is good, because I am buying it for DSO's) 3. Some people say that it is a barlowed Newtonian which is not good And here are the obvious reasons to buy it: 1. It has eyepieces which give wide-field views. 2. It has a parabolic mirror, which is good So, what should I do? I am also open to other suggestions which are under 150$. Also allow me to kindly decline the offer to buy a bigger scope/save more money and buy a bigger scope.

    I found that it has extra shipping charges, so I am looking at the Z100 or skywatcher heritage 100p from FLO, so is it good?
  16. spacegalaxy
    Yes, it has a parabolic mirror, but I a discord server if it is good, and they said it was a barlowed Newtonian, but If I check on another forum it is only a Newtonian so, I am really confused!
  17. spacegalaxy
    I think the problem is I will have to buy from abroad but other than that, how big is the mirror and the focal ratio?

    Second hand telescope that is a dob is rare here, even having a good reflector here is rare, but do you think a 114mm Zhumell dobsonian is good? https://www.telescopesplus.com/products/zhumell-z114-portable-altazimuth-reflector-telescope
  19. spacegalaxy
    Thanks Peter for the suggestion, I went on google and found a local club near me, seems like they have lots of dobs, but they were temporarily closed, I will try once it opens! (Also my school doesn't have a telescope😦)
  20. spacegalaxy
    Umm, where can I get a second hand primary and secondary?
  21. spacegalaxy
    Okay, many people recommended grinding/ getting a mirror and build the tube and dobsonian mount, so I found this, is it any good? Link: https://tejraj.com/telescope-making-kit-indian.html (This is the local company in India, and I got my first telescope from them) 1st or 2nd product I also saw it has a long focus, and I won't get wide-field views, so I searched for a focal reducer, and fund one, is it any good? Link: https://tejraj.com/focal-reducer.html (1st product) And is the Sky-watcher Heritage 100p dobsonian good for DSO's (Better than my 70mm refractor?)

    I searched for it, and it seems to have a good impression on many people, problem is it exceeds my budget (160$) way too much, so I can't buy it I do want visual, with some simple smartphone shots Anyway, is there a good scope considering buying in this price range? I could buy an OTA only, and make a mount on my own. I have made a mount for my 70mm f/10. I already own a diagonal, 5x24 finderscope, 4mm, 10mm, 20mm Kellner eyepieces

    Hello! I am a space enthusiast, who has a very simple 70mm f/10 refractor with a alt-az mount. I believe I have seen everything what this scope can see neatly. It can't show me much in the light polluted skies of my cities. I am looking for a cheap telescope upgrade around 160$, which will be my second and more serious telescope, I will like a dobsonian or a eq telescope. Suggestions? Also it needs to have free international shipping, because I live in India. (P.S. Sorry for my bad English, I am not perfect in this language!)

    Hello!

    spacegalaxy posted a topic in Welcome

    Hello! I am a new to this hobby, I have a simple 70mm f/10 refractor, which I have used for 3 months, and I look forward to this hobby!
