    Are there any recommended eyepieces for a 10" dobsonian (Skywatcher 250px) has focal length of 1200mm?
  2. Spacecake2
    How much is light pollution going to affect my view with the 10"? (bortle 6.8)
  3. Spacecake2
    Are you having problems lifting it?
  4. Spacecake2
    How heavy is it to carry?
  5. Spacecake2
    Suitable for the 5" and the 10" (separately). The eyepieces I have now are two eyepieces that came with the telescope (25mm and 9mm) I also have two aspheric eyepieces (24mm and 4mm) and an omni 15mm eyepiece.

    It has 1500mm focal length (I think the focal ratio is 5.9) and it's a computerised telescope.

    Last question (ever) probably. Is there any eyepiece recommendations for a 5 or 10 inch? (Any). I'm planning to use it for a few years. Kind regards, Neil

    I wish there was a 9" dobsonian.

    for 2k aud I'd rather get a new telescope 😂

    Whoa! 😮😐

    Sorry for saying this so late, I do recommend the Astromaster 90az which has the same mount and focal length (Basically just magnification) as the astromaster. but has more aperture (more thickness) so you can have more magnification. Astromaster also has better quality (my opinion). 😀

    You could use adobe photoshop or lightroom to increase brightness of M31

    Hello, I know you've seen these questions a lot (unless your new) but I'm struggling a lot on if I should buy a Skywatcher 250px (10") or 200px (8") (dobsonians). I have a 5 inch and i'm looking for a big step up for noticeable changes. Thank you

    I recommend a X-Cel (even though it is expensive). It has very good eye relief and it has a very clear view.

    This is like, SO GOOD! compared to mine 😀😥

    I have never 'cooled down' my telescope before.

    The european extremely large telescope shines lasers into the sky and somehow gets nearly perfect vision.😐

    A few days ago I saw about 13 bright spots (bright as stars!) moving for 15 seconds in a straight line south. 😐

    Probably just a satellite. 😀
  20. Spacecake2
    I can't help with that but I hope someone replies quickly.

    He/she has the 12" Lightbridge Plus has a focal length of 1524 mm, 304 mm is the aperture. (read it in another topic)
  22. Spacecake2
    You have a 12" telescope which is enough to view anything with any eyepiece, so I don't know what is going on. Maybe you haven't focused your telescope properly? Nice telescope,
  23. Spacecake2
    To target objects in the sky, use the finderscope. I don't know about the mount but are you finding that the 4mm eyepiece to hard to look through?

    I know you have a 10" dob and i'm interested in getting one so should I get it? I have a 5" Mak right now.

      It really depends on your current situation. As you may know, I don't use my dob a lot and I consider selling it. With that being said, It's still a great scope for the price, and if you live somewhere with the opportunity to observe in your own garden or something and you have the time to use it, then it's a great choice. I you don't have a lot of time, I think you'll end up using your mak the most.

      Thanks

    They both have similar power but the power seeker are for people who learn how to use telescopes and the Astromaster mount is the one you should get. AZ - alt-azimuth mount, simply it is rotating around azimuth and can lift to zenith EQ - it is equatorial mount. You need to know where Polar star is placed that to pointing telescope mount to it.
