Hi I am new to this and I wish I got the dobs telescope I find the telescope on the eq1 mount is hard to Work with you set it up to point North and then try and look South the telescope lands up at a strange angle with the balance weight high of just level but the whole this feel unstable may just be me, there is a lot of messing about moving the telescope in its mounts to get the eyepiece so you can see into it

Hi everyone just a quick question is the Celestron Omni eyepieces any good

Morning all merry Christmas to you all ,waiting for pims a clock lol

Wow they are breath taking well done

Hi I had item with that type of crack the same way . What I was did was put a tiny cable the around the flat part so the crack was closed then hot glue on the cable tie to hold it in place it's worth a try

Thanks guys for your time I will have to read it a few times for it to sink in but it has answered it

Ok so in lay man terms a fast scope draw light in faster to the mirror then eyepiece , so this now makes me ask this If you have a fast telescope the eyepiece needs to be very good as well ?

Ok so it's focal , but why it's called a fast scope of its focal length

Hi guys I know this is going to get technical, a fast telescope is F6 or lower hope that's right What makes it a fast telescope? Why does it make it a fast telescope? Why buy a fast telescope over a medium? P!ease try and keep it easy to understand thank you

Hi Helen thanks for the heads up I signed up

Well guys ( sorry I know we have a young lady on here too) but I am learning a lot , I thought I had my scope set up right but I got a laser collimator I first checked the tool glad I did it was off a little , then did the telescope and what I thought was right was well out , so I hope next outing the image will be better

Glad you said that I don't feel stupid now

Hi Jim i did my friend I subscribed to your channel , as a newbie I am just starting to look up and see things , so what star cluster is the 7sisters ? The big dipper is what we call the plough ( I wish we all used the same names lol )

Great video Jim have you done any more

Get a bolt removal tool from a car spares p!ace they are hardened and made to remove bolts that the head has snapped off , you drill the bolt then insert tool and as it grips it unscrew bolt

Thanks Robin this is my first scope and won't be my last

Hi I got this eyepiece as the 4mm was missing this was before I found out I need plossl eyepiece is it any good or shall I replace it https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0749PC72L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi guys I found a compass on play store that gives you mag North or true north what ever you select it may be worth a look https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartcompass.procompass

Hi guys it was me lol , I just could not get my head to work it out I watched video and read the right up I was linked to and now in the day light got it to look South , it's looks strange as the weight is level or above the telescope a little and telescope ends up lower than when I started, but if that sounds right to you guys then I go with that

Hi Joe do me a favor tell me what eyepieces and Barlow to get please so I don't waste money on things I don't need , forget what I have as they are cheap and came with scope so are not plossl

Thanks I just wonder if it's me being new and not knowing how to handle the telescope yet

Guys I have the EQ1 mount I do the polar alignment then if I want to look at a star to my South I undo the locks but telescope will only move 60 degs and then gets stuck is this normal

Hi guys I worked out I need 8mm 10mm 12mm 20mm plossl eyepieces 2x Barlow and poss a 3x Barlow using the eyepiece with and without the Barlow I won't go near max mag of 228

Ok what I have done is used the maths to make sure I don't go over 224 when looking at plossl eyepieces and barlows
