  1. Thanks everyone for the advice, I do own turn left at orion, it can be a bit hard to use at times but for the most part I love it! I also own SkySafari and Stellarium, great suggestions as well! I guess I just did not know what to expect, I just wanted to be sure I wasnt do it wrong because literally every picture online for Orion's Nebula is red, pretty deceiving. I took these imagines with my iPhone 11. I guess I should just collimate my telescope and keep searching, also thank you so much for those links guys, they will come in handy because generally I do not know what I am supposed to be looking for so I get confused.

  2. Hi guys, new member here. I am an amateur astronomer and I am having a big struggle using my telescope and I do not know what the issue is. Here is what I have: Telescope: Dobsonion xt8 Lenses: 25mm plossl (came with scope) Celestron 8-24mm zoom eyepiece 6mm 66° “gold line” planetary eyepiece 2x Barlow I went out tonight for about 3 hours. Mars was out, but I couldnt get a decent view of it no matter what I tried, it just looked like an orange star but a bit brighter. I was kind of confused because I feel like I had the eyepieces and telescope to support seeing Mars but nothing I tried worked. I also tried to find Orion's Nebula, and I found something... but not what I was really expecting. I attached some low quality photos, one photo turned our slightly red and one blue for some reason? It seemed completely gray from what I saw but any advice would be amazing, I really need help with this. And also I dont really speak telescope or astronomy yet so easy language would be appreciated! Thank you!
