Saturne Meade ETX70

[MrNathari]

Pour des premiers essais,ce sont des coups de maitre!Moi,je n'arrive meme pas à repérer cette planète,ni Mars.Heureusement qu'il y a la lune,Vénus et Jupiter sinon j'aurai l'air 1 peu bete avec mon télescope.

Yes, through a Meade ETX-70. I don't remember what kind of barlow I used, but it was probably the original 3X Meade Barlow from the package.

nowaaay,,i am 100% sure that the earth could fit 338 times in jupiter.. and waht? saturn 850x the earth? saturn is smaller than jupitur, it doesen't make sence what you sa.y. sorry.. otherwise.. really love it..

[Fix00]

The diameter of Saturn is about 10x the diameter of Earth, Jupiter is 12x

[R4538L]

Thanks for putting this up. Even though Saturn is almost 850x the size of the Earth, it is almost 10x as far from the Sun, that is why it looks the way it does.

[Frekas9291]

lol saturn aint 850 size of earth.. jupitur is 338x size of earth, and its bigger than saturn.. so take these facts away please..

[RJL738]

Trust me Jupiter is at least 1,300 to 1,400 times Earths volume and Saturn roughly around 800 times Earth's volume. Look it up if you don't believe me.

can you see pluto?

[Fix00]

No, it's too far and too small :s

[PARLAPIPA123]

to see pluto, you need a good 12'' and a very clear sky (it is going to be like a pixel) .... Saturn is about 25.000 times more brighter than pluto!!!!

[kurdiii89]

is the Meade ETX-80 better?

[Fix00]

The ETX 80 is the latest replacement for Meade ETX 70. The Optical Diameter is 80 mm in comparison of the 70 mm from the ETX 70 !

Dude, Meade scopes are Rad!!! Every scope is limited by apature size, when using for extraterrestrial viewing, but the ETX stuff is high quality and holds its value well. Plus when I did have a problem with the computerized controller they just sent me a new one even though I was like a month over-due on my warrantee. and also, mrspock is totally right, you can see andromeda with your naked eyes. If you use your peripheral vision you can see alot more.

galaxies are possible in a small scope...saw M33 Andromeda on a Meade 90mm on regular basis..mostly takes time to really learn where they are,THEN have good viewing conditions,and good eyepieces

[Lagwagon555]

I remeber seeing saturn through a small scope (my 90mm refractor) for the first time... good stuff!

[carrierform]

yea i know, venus, mars, staturn and jupiter are all you can see....i wanna see galaxies!!!

[carrierform]

..... show me some galaxies son then ill take that back

[Fix00]

Can't, Saturne is really near from Earth, Galaxies are so faraway... Maybe with a better photographic instrument (I got Saturne with my webcam).

[NumNumNumProductions]

i just got this same telescope, and i saw my first galaxy through it, it wasnt huge and vibrent, but it was small and vibrent...ill take pictures tommarow and put them on here if you want me to

[Fix00]

Sure! I want to see that, so I can try to do the same.

[carrierform]

....wow u got a shit scope

[Fix00]

Not really, it's a beginner scope. 140 € and 5 years warranty in a supermarket ...
