Hi there,

it's been roughly a month since I bought my first telescope ever: a 8 inch Dobsonian from StellaLyra. I had it imported from the UK (bought on FLO), and choose it, because it comes with a RACI and 2 eyepieces. I bought a 6 mm ep, a moon filter and a cheshire collimating with it.

I was unbelievably happy, that I could watch the moon from my balcony the same day the telescope arrived. The two times I was out since, it was also as fascinating for me as for my company.

It's still challenging to find the things I want to look at, when they are smaller than a planet 🙂 . I find my way with my eyes and even with binos, but there are so many stars, when I look through the telescope! And if I'm right, then the view is inverted horizontally and vertically. It's a very exciting hobby and I like the challenge.

Clear skies to you all!

Wilkommen von mir auch!

Yes, the view in a reflector is inverted horizontally and vertically - da haben Sie recht.

Get Stellarium on your computer, then use CTRL ^ H, and CTRL ^ V and you will see on the screen what you see in the eyepiece.

Viel SpaB!

Doug.
