Celestron Starsense Explorer DX 6"
tico replied to Beardy30's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Maybe the DX5" SCT more stable? In the SS explorer mount...? -
Celestron Starsense Explorer DX 6"
tico replied to Beardy30's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Really, the mount and tripod combo is good for the SCT 6"? For stability without too much vibrations? Thanks Tico -
Hello, I am looking at a reflector telescope with possibly a 130mm mirror and 650mm focal length. I have two options: - Starsense Explorer 130 DX, comes with tripod and altazimuth mount and SS search system. - Starsense Explorer, 130/650 Dobson, the telescope is identical to the previous one, but the difference is in the mount, in this case it is a tabletop, similar to the Dobson system, but single arm, and it is to be placed on a table although I think It could be placed on a tripod... the search system is the same, the SS. What is your opinion on this? advantages of one over the other? thank you so much

First light with Evolux 62ED - Short Review
tico replied to Skyline's topic in Member Equipment Reviews
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

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

Visual double stars: colour & aperture
tico replied to JeremyS's topic in Observing and Imaging Double and Variable Stars
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

Observing night with Helios Apollo 15x70 binos

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. -
Observing night with Helios Apollo 15x70 binos
tico replied to Mark at Beaufort's topic in Observing - with Binoculars
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? -

Observing night with Helios Apollo 15x70 binos
tico replied to Mark at Beaufort's topic in Observing - with Binoculars
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
