  1. Okay Yea I'll have to look up a manual for the telescope if I can. Yea cause it didn't come with one. I've assembled a couple but I have no idea what each one does like for example i kinda understand what a barlow lense does but does that somehow [removed word] up the way things look cause it zooms it in so much? like the detail becomes more fuzzled when i add that and then the uh i dont even know what its called the little adapter for the 25mm lenses i guess or if i can combine the 50mm with the barlow or then add a 10mm. They way the zoom works is the lower the number the closer the image is right? kinda like an airplane like up is down and down is up?
  2. Hello Everyone, So I am brand new to Astronomy and my dad gave me his old Orion XT8. I'll post some pictures of some of the stuff I have with it that he gave me. I have absolutely no idea what any of this stuff does. I've done a bit of research but i think i'm too dumb to understand what does what. Is there a dumbed down version or does anyone use Discord on here my username is LiquidSn8ke #7350 that can kinda give me a rundown of what everything does. I have a Cannon T3i and I tried to take some pictures of the Moon and I tried to move it to the Andromeda Galaxy but I couldn't seem to get anything from either of them. I think I was able to see it with some of the lenses but Everytime I tried to use my camera i just got nothing but blurryness or nothing just black. It seemed like it was out of focus or in terms of deep sky objects it was just black or idk i couldn't focus in on stars or anything. Not really sure what i'm doing. Thanks! Sorry if i'm just being an uber noob as I just don't really understand any of this haha he just kinda dumped it on me and was like good luck! Atleast I found this forum but alot of the jargon just kinda confuses me.
