After few days with funny clouds and some haze in the night sky, i can try at last my new Barlow. I was little worried about the chromatism that sometimes the barlow lens ad to the views, but i don, t see any chromatism at all. I try it on Jupiter, Saturn, Moon and simply scanning some star fields, and everything looks perfect to my eyes. The 1.5x feature, that is achieved simply threading the optical group of the barlow (the black piece) into the filter thread of the eyepiece converts it into 3 possibilities: In the case of 25mm super plossl, i have 48x (eyepiece alone), 72x (optic part threa

Hi, i just presented myself yesterday in newcomers. I have a skywatcher classic200p dobsonian scope. I have installed on my phone the Skeye app. Skeye has the feature to work in "push to" mode, similar to the Orion Intelliscope system. What is the best system to attach my smartphone to the tube? Phone cover+velcro? I read that the performance can be wrong due to phone magnetic sensors and the metal tube of the scope. Some trick? Thanx in advance to all. Best regards.

Thank you, i love the simplicity of the dobsonians, in 2 minutes, take the scope out, put the eyepiece on the focuser, and enjoy. Best regards.

Thank you!! In my opinion, a telescope is one of best things that money can buy. You become a space explorer from your backyard!!

Hi, i..m on Stargazers Lounge for long time ago, but now i have a new scope at last!!! The scope is a Skywatcher classic200p dobsonian, and i received it just one month ago. I.m really happy with it. For now, i.m using the stock eyepieces that come with the scope, a 25mm and 10mm super plossl 52. Yesterday i was received a Celestron Omni barlow, and that expands my magnification range. I posted some pics with my set. Congratulations to Stargazers lounge team, this is one of the best sites to learn about astronomy and equipment. Besf regards to everybody

Is the Horsehead Nebula observable visually?
Joaquim Q replied to Bart's topic in Observing - Discussion
Hey my friends. I´ve have found an interesting article about the observation of the Horsehead nebula by a guy with a 6" reflector telescope, with some sketches too: http://www.perezmedia.net/beltofvenus/archives/000379.html I hope that can be interesting for the topic. Best regards to all. Joaquim Q. -
Hi to all. My name is Quim. I.m music writer and producer from Barcelona, Spain. First of all, sorry for my english, i know that i need some lessons!. I have been amazed about astronomy since the age of 10 (actually i,m 51). When i was 12, my parents buy me a 60mm refractor, a Zenith russian scope, that i,m keeping actually. For work questions i have been really busy during years, and time to time i take out my Zenith, and now i really want a big eye to observe, coz i have more time lately. I have been member long time ago of the "Agrupació astronómica de Sabadell", one of the most knonw astr
