Sorry for all the questions recently, Just so much to learn and appreciate all the help and advice so far. Now which Sky atlas would be best?

I see you have the deep sky atlas... How does this compare with sky and telescope pocket sky atlas?

That's awesome.. Thank you. I like both apps and books. I love books 📚😊👌

We are talking about reflectors here, just so I understand? 🤔

Love this. And how much would you budget for a refractor. I wouldn't have a clue

What's the difference between the deluxe one above and this one... https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9780521173636?gC=5a105e8b&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9IX4BRCcARIsAOD2OB0mLvYwsS1KRaORAaYlPuQcN9afhcWHeib1m49SkXhqVepkGnyMLygaAgRUEALw_wcB

You have this one?

Hi all, so after recommendations on here, I bought Turn Left at orion book which is fantastic. I also bought philips 2020 stargazing (month by month), but I was wondering if anyone has other recommendations. As a beginner I like the the thought of Collins moon gazing plus does anyone have or read Astronomy years books? Thanks in advance

I have some Olympus 10 x 50s and some of the best times have been laying back on sun lounger looking up at night with them

The box is pretty small. I estimate only 5 lenses will fit into this box

I would love one mainly for portability. My heritage 150p is very portable. But as I don't drive obviously its awkward. Not heavy just awkward. I'm away a lot for work and where I work there is plenty of dark sky... So a refractor for that reason is also tempting. Need to get more out of my Reflector before I also get a refractor, but the differenece has intrigued me

I have this one coming today. Smaller than ones above, but should fit the lenses nice and snug

What size box is that? 👍 I am just starting my collection and only have the 8mm. 15mm comes next week

Stop it. The temptation is getting harder to resist 😂

About the licking- it's off topic and that's a different forum 😂

Very nice. I like that. 👌 I didn't realise until the other day that the heritage actually came off the dobsonian base 😂 doh

This is so good. I was told this is a ncie place and what you guys have said and shared is so helpful 😁 So hypothetically speaking, if a newbie wanted a refractor as well, what would you recommend. Asking for a friend 😉

I have never had the debate, for me it's all new 😁👍

Hi all, So as many of you know, I have a new Reflector skywalker heritage 150p which I love and is great. And I get the larger aperture rules because it let's let's in more light etc. And they are generally cheaper. But what are the big differences really of why people buy a Reflector over a refractor and vice verser. What are the real benefits of each. I ask because many I see have refractors and just wondering why 😊👍

I have to keep telling myself to just put the phone down and just look and appreciate what I am seeing and enjoy that experience, without feeling the need to constantly try and get the next best photo

I don't think I will turn into an imager anytime soon either, mainly because of budget and money lol. I am just enjoying using my phone and learning about the sky 🙂

Thanks so much 🙂
