Something that won’t break the bank but yet still give the “wow, look at that” feeling. Also, do you take yours places to watch or do you just use the backyard? I ask because there lots of light pollution near me. What type of scope do you have? This sounds odd, but I have a total of six telescopes, even more odd, I don't know how to use them that is why I still have them. Thanks to this thread however I took out my Meade ETX-90 and took a look at the moon. Finally was able to put some time into this and actually see the moon. I used the stock 26mm eyepiece, I had no idea that the eyepiece is the magnification piece. The next day I went out and bought two more eyepieces, 12mm and 9mm. Last night I tried the new eyepieces with my Meade ETX-125. The last time I tried the ETX-125 I could not see anything, turns out the finder and the actual scope were way off alignment so I just gave up put it away and forgot about it. After aligning both pieces during the day, we were able to see the moon in great detail, all of the little craters. I do think the 9mm is overall kill for this scope but still very enjoyable. I think this is something that I will really enjoy and I can't wait to view different objects in the sky. Now to figure out what to do with the rest of the scopes. One of them is a higher end scope but I cannot get it to focus, it's like the focus knob just doesn't work, won't do anything. Any advice? Think I will be calling the manufacturer tomorrow to see about repairs. |
