Hi everyone, merry Christmas Eve!! The skies are lovely and clear where I am! I have a couple of questions that anyone could kindly take a look at?
my starpointer arrived today, I thought (maybe stupidly) it was just a case of attach and go, but it doesn’t seem the case, I’ve managed to get it so I can correlate where the red dot is near to a star but it’s not exactly on the star - is that how it should be or should it be lined up? Secondly, which (or combination of which) would be the best lens(es) to look at planets at their best? I have:
Barlow 3x3
h12
k20
sr4
Using one of the smaller ones (h13 or sr4 I can’t quite remember) I can see mars but to be honest, not massively, it still just looks like a star! if that makes sense. I’m definitely looking at Mars 😂🤦🏼♀️😂🤦🏼♀️
