... The Skyprodigy 130/650 -950 € The SS Explorer 130DX-400€ Which is your opinión? Thanks Tico

Hello, Has anyone been able to compare these two telescopic alignment systems? Does one of them have an advantage over the other? By the way, are both completely automatic or do they ask for some type of data: time, date and the longitude and latitude of the place? thank you so much Tico

Anyone have used the 62ED Evolux for visual astro and terrestrial? Thank you Tico

Hello, Can a Skywatcher 150 Mak be mounted well, without vibrations, and without the telescope touching the base of the mount, on a Nexstar SE mount, 6"/8" model? Thank you

Thank you for all your opinions.. I currently have a Nexstar SE mount, the 6"/8" model, my budget around €500/600. I had an ED80/600 that gave good lunar views, but the resolution was 80mm, and I want higher resolution on the one hand, and on the other hand it didn't work with my mount, it touched the base of the mount too soon,...yes, I'm really looking for a shorter telescope that can withstand my mount...few vibrations..., but with good resolution, that can achieve high magnifications, tell you that I have a small backyard where I could leave the telescope without problems..., Is there a big difference between a 5" and a 6"...? Thanks again Tico

Hello, Since the Moon is almost the only thing I can observe from my backyard, I am looking for information on a good lunar telescope, not too big or heavy (I have back pain) but with enough resolution to see lunar details... Thank you very much in advance. Tico

Hello, Does anyone use a Maksutov 102 or 127 for terrestrial observation? Thank you , Tico

The software of the Virtuoso GTi and the AZ-GTi is the same?

Thank you all for your responses, yesterday I saw a 15x70, I think it was TS and it had some ep. huge, for God's sake, I couldn't fit my nose between them, what an awkward observation

What Altazimuth mount do you recommend for this 102ED/F7..? I would like it to hold it well so as not to have too many vibrations in the image.

Thanks Spock, I know how to do it next time, it was not my intention to blind anyone...

Hello, I want to upgrade from an ED80, and I'm thinking about which direction to take... And one of them is to upgrade to a 4" refractor, I usually observe from my backyard, the Moon, the bright planets, double stars and some luminous Messier... this is what my sky allows me. I would also like you to It wasn't too heavy or bulky, around F/7, and since I don't usually observe for more than an hour, mount it on an alt-azimuthal mount. In your opinion, how does your 4" refractor perform for these objects? What mount do you use? Thank you very much in advance. Paul

I've looking double Star with my ED80, very aesthetic view, Yes, but dark vision also compared with a SCT 6" near!! What diferente!!

Hello, Currently I use an ED80 refractor, with which I observe visually from my backyard, especially the Moon and doubles and planets, the rest of the objects due to light pollution I do not observe.... The truth is, I would like to upgrade to a larger telescope, without being huge, with more resolution than the ED80 for planets and the Moon. To notice a difference about the ED80, in your opinion what telescope could it be? I prefer it to be a telescope that is not too bulky or heavy, short, the mount I have is a celestron nexstar SE, I had thought about a 4" or 5" Mak...maybe? or a SC C5.. maybe a C6..? Although I don't like collimating telescopes... thank you so much Tico

Hello, Do you know which is the best battery to externally power a Nexstar 8SE mount? I have tried AA batteries and it doesn't work well, a connection to the mains with a 12v output and it doesn't work well at all, although I don't really understand why... Thank you Tico

Hello, How much weight can the Nexstar SE8 mount hold?

hello again, I have spoken with a company that has this model and they tell me that it does not have threads and that they must be older models. Tico.

thanks for your response. Are you referring to the fact that the recent models of this model, the Helios Apollo 15x70, do not have threads on the eyepieces? ...only the old ones have it?

???????

Which is the Best Filter or with More use in the Helios Apollo 15x70? Thanks. Tico

A good Night!! How is the eyerelief in this binocular? Thanks. Tico

Hello Currently I have and use a 15x70 binocular, let's say "generic" of the Sky Master type or similar.... and I want to upgrade it to another 15x70 or 16x70 model since I like the architecture of this model, that is, its exit pupil and its visual field..., but I am looking for eyepieces with individual focus, the one I have is with a central one, I would like it to have better contrast, luminosity, sharpness, focus... etc. Would it be a good model? I would logically like to be able to see a good improvement in all these characteristics. I would be delighted to have your opinions. thank you so much

Hello, I have an ED 80/600, and for quick grab-and-go use and use for an hour or so... I'm thinking about an AZ mount, with slow controls, how would it work with a Vixen Porta II? Has anyone used it? Thank you.

Hello, I have an 80ED refractor with 600mm focal length. I use a Baader 8-24mm Zoom with a 2.25x Baader barlow lens that gives me about 170x for planetary, lunar and star observation with good results, but I would like to be able to use some power... would it be possible with my telescope? Let's say around 225 or 250x..., if so, which eyepiece would you recommend? Thank you. Tico

Hello, I'm trying to mount an 80mm refractor on a Nexstar SE mount, the problem is that the eyepiece area of the refractor touches the base of the mount when it is directed to the zenith. What solution do you propose to solve this problem? They have told me about a wedge, but I don't want a solution like that... Thank you.
