  1. Hello! I recently took out my 8" GSO dobsonian, with plans to observe few clusters tonight. It hasnt been used in recent few months due to rains over here... When i inspected the mirror, i found a cloudy ring around the circumference accompanied by a lot of dust on the mirror. Even though i kept the telescope sealed... Do i need to clean the mirror? One of my friends scared me by saying that the aluminium coating is coming off the mirror and it is a write-off I am really concerned! -Prabal
  2. Hey! It was simple point and shoot! I don't have any adapter. I just read the photo through PE express on my Mobile. Just increased the contrast a little. Clear skies, Prabal
  3. Another one of my Smartphone pictures. Saturn Captured through 8" Dobsonian. Again, it's not great but it's something.
  4. Hey, I captured this Image of Jupiter Few Days back. I made a 10 second video using my smartphone, Put the video through Registrax and then edited it in Photoshop Express to bring out the colors. It's not much but yeah, it's something. I managed to capture the Great Red Spot. I used a 9mm eyepiece on my GSO 8" Dob.....
  5. This picture was taken with a Smartphone attached to a 8" GSO Dobsonian paired with a 20mm eyepiece. It was edited in Photoshop Express.
  6. Hey, I second What Micheal said. The same thing happens with my 8" Dobsonian. In order to focus my 2" eyepiece, GSO has included an extension along with my scope. Without extending, stuff appears like blobs. So what I would suggest is, instead of adding a diagonal in between (more opticals = less quality), do not fully insert the eyepiece in the focuser barrel. Experiment with the distance. It should work. Let me know. Regards, Prabal
  7. Here's my new GSO 8" F/6 Dob. Took few years to collect the funds from pocket money. This has just been assembled 2 days ago. Still awaiting first light. Regards, Prabal
  8. well my exams are going on cannot do anything....
