chris285 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I just got my first telescope at christmas, its a skywatcher 130m and still getting to grips with it as only been able to use it a few times with the weatherso far I have been able to get good views of the moon and a few wide angle views of other common features, but planets seem to be a problem with them being fuzzy and no detail just a ball of light so am certain i am doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillc Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello Chris and a warm welcome to SGL. I have the same scope with the same problem. But I find the views of all the other objects I look at are good.phillc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brantuk Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Chris and welcome to the group - the fuzzy planets could be down to atmospherics, poor seeing, telescope temperature, or ep quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Baby Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Bit late but Hi from me as well. Good scope you have there and should do planets ok - ask up in the beginners section and I am sure someone will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
