[hardcore4d4]

you wont see anything unless you live in the middle of nowhere and have a £3000 +

telescope

[comicsce10]

Hey, i want to buy my first telescope and i was thinking of this one: Orion SkyView Pro 120mm EQ Refractor. It has 120mm lens and 1000mm focal length f/8.3. Is this a good telescope or would you recommend a reflector or something else?

[TheLegendarySkeptic]

@comicsce10 Explore Scientific 127mm f/7.5 Air-spaced Triplet ED APO Refractor. It's the best Visual observing refractor, imo. It's a little expensive, though ($1,900)

[FyreMunky69]

@comicsce10 thats a very nice beginners scope

[notubeplease]

@SoumyaSumitra : not very far. only objects that are closer than 12 million light years away :D i also have an instrument that shares the same focal lengths, and at 20x i could easily see M81 and other nearby galaxies. brighter nebulae and clusters also show up very nice in the field. you can try add a little more power either by using a shorter eyepiece or by adding a barlow lens, to get more detail. clear skies!

@daguangrong Try a handy camera for that.You can also record...hahahaaa

[dncviorel]

[reboothater]

help amatuer astronomers i mean.

[reboothater]

actualy one of the things you might be able to help alot of astronomers is with what you can actualy see compared to what are exposed photographs (ie. star/galaxy photos made by timed exposure).

[reboothater]

can i see the state of vagina my tele..? jk

[lannen3000]

so is it like possible to see like mars and stuff in a telescope becus im getting intrested in astronemy and im wondering how much does a telescope cost?

[King007Bond]

i've got a bresser messier(from meade)

8inch 1000mm focal length, with a lxd75 autostar GOTo mount... its great but the weather is awful in these months...^^

[rockguitar312]

im 14 but i want to start astronamy but my mom cant afford to get me a Telescope = (

[danohopo]

@rockguitar312 well dont take your mind of it...if you really want it u will get it and start astronamy((((((good luck))))))

[imanoob4]

@rockguitar312 A good starter telescope is a good binoculars. I would suggest to save around 80 dollars and buy a binocular from 'Optcorp'. The best all round telescope would be the Celestron Skymaster 15x70 because youll be able to use it for day and night time use. But also, youll need a tripod.

[Obama4Prezz]

@rockguitar312 Don't give up kid. If you bust your ass off working for a whole summer or something you could afford one. You can get really good reflectors for $500 or less. I bought a 6 inch Newtonian reflector for $420 US and it is the definition of bang for your buck. Dobsonians are also just as affordable, if not more. Do it up, kid. You won't regret it.

[heven729]

@rockguitar312 Try looking for an astronomy club in your area. Its a great way to get familiar with telescopes and start learning about the night sky... It probably wont cost you a dime either ;)

[FyreMunky69]

@rockguitar312 what Heven said is correct plus there's the Fact that a lot of clubs have loaner scope..so if you prove to the members that you are Responsible with and around their scope..you can probably get the club to lend you a scope..plus some members might be willing to come get you to go obseving with them

[Marth8880]

@rockguitar312 You can find cheap ones on Amazon. :)

[rockmasterdan1993]

@rockguitar312 but she can afford to buy you a computer?

[ddacanay09]

@rockmasterdan1993 Computer set is much expensive than telescope... he didn't realize it. -_-

[marcomovies97]

@rockguitar312 same age, same problem! me to D:

[vibol03]

@rockguitar312 get one off ebay around 25$ and you can see saturn with it

[ddacanay09]

@vibol03 I've found one that only costs $39.99.. i think it can also see the saturn planet

[mikeanaro20]

@rockguitar312 save up, im 13 and my birthdays soon and with all my birthday money i will buy a telescope

[zipzip143]

@rockguitar312 you can get a cheap one for$ 20 maybe the moon

[GeorgeChar95]

@rockguitar312 i will tell you the cheapest most portable and best quality of it's kind! It's the Skywatcher Skyliner 6 inch it's quite big and great quality and it's around 300 dollars. That is pretty cheap compared to the thousand dollars robotic telescopes

[matkex7]

@rockguitar312  Go work than xD hehe

[tammy71100]

i have a Bushnell 420X deep space series...is that good someone gave it to me that never picked up the hobby. thanks

[DyonKe]

420X magnification? lol thats what the box says?

u need to look for the aperture size thats probably around 60 i guess :) dont expect to much from it

[AirsoftMan372]

Im getting a twin stasr

[Germanboy567]

Well twinstars arent very good i have one my self and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT CANT EVEN SEE DETAILS ON JUPITER!!

[jamieball]

i got a skywatcher telescope.. it is awesome !

[ivannagib]

What kind of Skywatcher telescope have you got?

[rossyboy108]

thats got nothing to do with how to use your telescope but great vid

[MegaRocketLaunch]

@rossyboy108 the heading he is doing all his vids under is * how to use your telescope* but his subheading is what he will be reviewing. =)

[MegaRocky25]

its a 50 mm refractor telescope bad???

[Strikerklm96]

well it depends on what you want to look at the bigger the aperature the better.

[KhalsaSoulja]

Nice piece of information about the stars twinkling, thanks for the upload...

[1234qwerty09]

i just got my first telescope it is a bresser rb-60 60mm refractor telescope

[chuananrock]

it seems like a gd starter scope. i recommend a meade lightbridge!

[ohnotemp]

is the Orion SkyQuest XT8 it a good telescope?

[KhalsaSoulja]

Excellent scope from what i've heard...

[BanzaiSushi]

I bought that one..pretty good I must say. Can see lots of stars..and some nebulas...of course it would be best used away from the city.
