  • would you recommend this telescope (10" Newton Orion) for a beginner? I've been looking into it and it seems to be priced reasonably,

  • ive only seen mars like this i still find it funny how they always look like they are fake when u see them.

  • how much does such a telescope?

  • @TheMessier1 A telescop with this size and mount and the video epuipment coast 1500$

  • @MarkgrafMichael thx :)

  • @TheMessier1 you are welcome :-)

  • I bet hes fapping to this.... you your telescope to watch girls not balls...

  • wow

  • is this really real it looks fake but it must be if so many people are liking the video, if it is real that is auwsome it looks amazing

  • Coo coo

  • I'm 11 an im really intrested in space :) im hoping to work for NASA when im older, I look up every night but its mostly cloudy here in Liverpool :( but when i went to Spain there was Millons of stars that you could see more than i usally see in Liverpool and i really wish i had a telescope :( but do have binoculars and i once looked in them and i saw the space station and maybe the rings of Saturn :D you are very lucky that you have a telescope

  • @LoLimrandom123 thank you for your beautiful comment

  • @LoLimrandom123 The problem you have in Liverpool is light polution if you can get to the countryside well away from cities you will see just as many stars as in Spain.

  • @METAL1ON i know in spain it was amazing, i went camping the other day with school but you wernt allowed to go out of your tent past 10:30pm and thats when it started to go dark :(

  • It looks so fake, but it's real. Amazing. Thanks.

  • @DragoSteelers thanks for your comment :-)

  • Thats a pretty amazing view. The 14 inch telescope at stony brook University didnt give a better image of Saturn.

  • if u guys hv an iphone download distance sun 3 it tells were planets are were to see meteor shower and tells were all other stars are its a really good app trust me

  • @ProperBodged hmm........i wish my pics of saturn looked good enough to be fake....(i know this is real)

  • saturn is such a pimp

  • weird i get a better view with my 70mm telescope with 3x multiplier and a 5mm lens

  • @Origamimaster321 this magnification with 3x barlow and 5mm eyepiece is with your 70mm scope not possible. the maximum is 140x. you are a beginner?

  • @MarkgrafMichael no it is 210x 5mm lens is 70x(3)=210x

    and yes i am a beginner

  • @MarkgrafMichael but it is still a good video

  • @MarkgrafMichael I observed Saturn Friday evening at 360x in a long 76mm, looking for cassini's division. The image was dimmed somewhat, but 300x was good. Seeing was very good, and the moon did not seem to interfere

  • @MarkgrafMichael Hi, I am a newb to astronomy and observing, I have a 8" meade lightbridge dob, What are some deep sky objects that would be good to view?, nebulae etc.

  • @4tmosk

    download stellarium, its a free astronnmy software which gives you all the objects in the night sky, just enter your location and the time and find objects that interest you.

  • @ChuckMamuck cool, thanks :D

  • @4tmosk

    no worries mate, i use it to plan my nights viewing, put in the time and date and it gives you a constant real time view of the sky as you see it from your location, it shows planets, nebulae, galaxies the lot. you can use the forward and rewind buttons to goto any time in the past or future to see how the sky will look. you can also see the routes of satelittes and the ISS, you'll be able to track the ISS well on your dob mount, i struggle on my equatorial.

  • @MarkgrafMichael this is not necessarily true. My late 60s tasco 76mm refractor has an f/16 ratio and provides fine views of jupiter and saturn at 300x when conditions permit

  • @Origamimaster321 From what i understand about optics, your setup does not sound possible. have you posted any samples?

  • @ProperBodged i look at planets regular through my cheap 6inch telecscope ( bought for £130 of ebay and she jupitor , its colours and clouds but never surounding stars just its moons and always wonderd why , this does not mean the fotos are fake

  • hello can you please help me! i got inside your webside and see what you have captured with your telescope and will see orion nebula and horsehead with my 6 inch scope! can i use a Baader UHC-S filter to see it? i live in denmark that country is beside germany!. and i dont have a canon eos 350D but i have... digital camera?

  • @jack342able i think it is not possible with a 6" Telescope to see the horsehead nebula visuell. this works only with a camera with a long exposure time.

  • @jack342able I agree with mark, to capture horsehead you would need much more firepower than a 6" scope. The object is tiny.

  • This is EXACTLY how i see Saturn, through a 127mm Omni XLT telescope with a 3X barlow & a 25mm eyepiece; not now though, cuz i'm not home these days haha.

    Also, in my case the air turbulance is much greater because i'm most often too lazy to take this heavy machinery to the yard or to the fields and watch through the trap window on the attic's roof, so when the heat of the room goes out the view becomes like air-jelly with occasional clearances :P

  • @ProperBodged The reason you dont see any stars, is that the camera settings for Saturn are set for a brightly lit object, where as the camera settings you need for stars, are for a dimly lit object. Its a bit like taking a photograph in the dark of a led light, the light would show up on the photograph but there would be nothing of the background....Excellent capture of Saturn by the way Mark.

  • @ProperBodged Dude! you again? BUY A TELESCOPE AND SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES!!! You're not watching THE NIGHT SKY, you won't see any star (unless you're watching a star!). Again: buy a damn large amateur telescope and see it with your own eyes.

    And the video is beautiful :)

  • Unbelievable that there is a object in the sky that looks that. Imagine all the things out there that we have no clue about. Great vid.

  • @ProperBodged This is easily explained. Saturn is brighter than the stars and that is why you see no stars at Its close proximity to Saturn.

  • lol, thats a gay song, good footage though

  • @Ozzrya91 LOL ozzry. Dunno who that was at but it's funny to hear other nerds talk about telescopes, like Cool guys talk about UFC haha.

  • It is Sauron's eye in the sky...

  • Get the Skyx and if the moon is out it makes it easier to find these planets cos you use it the moon as a sorta home button and see where the planets are in the program compared to the moon. rofl rofl

  • just jammed a 4' pogo stick up his old glory and is now firing pineapples at the neighbors house utilizing the spring action at the bottom of the stick.....this means the handles had to be fired at high velocity into the small entrance at a precise angle....my wife used the pressure exerted ...by the exhaust of her bro...om to fire the bastard into my valley of death!!

  • Are these actual images from telescopes?  It seems unreal, but cool.

  • @HellDevil75 thats not unreal, thats real. when you want see more about me and my telescope, look on my homepage michael-natschke.de

  • @MarkgrafMichael are you sure that is real? is that really a saturn? i think its impossible to see the ring. i mean, its so very far.

  • @HellDevil75  what size is your scope.

  • Thanks, you've convinced me to upgrade to a 10 incher! Would you mind trying to get some shots of deeper space objects? The Orion Nebula would be neat, or Andromeda.

  • @Treshnell pictures from the orion nebular and from the andromeda you can see on my homepage michael.natschke.de

  • Venis

  • I can never find planets! How long dose it take you to find them?

  • @DrumsInHeat i find planets with the program stellarium

  • @MarkgrafMichael That is the GREATEST planatery software ever :D

  • Wow, that is incredible.Did you use starfinder to locate or manual?

  • @aslamartnet i find him manual

  • @hituagarwal i have taken a 2x Barlow Lens with the Webcam.

  • which music is this? I Like it A little!

  • Weź nie ściemniaj buraku!!!!

  • fake?

  • @ciber101010101  not fake

  • Watching this video, Saturn is about an inch. How big is it through the scope?

  • @imanoob4 I think an half Inch.

  • @kirza94 to juse 450x you need an 10" Newton with an eyepiece with 2,5mm size.

  • @MarkgrafMichael oh ok ive seen Jupiter and all the inner planets but cant see saturn :( i ll try to get the things u got cus yours seems to work :)

  • @kirza94 to juse 450x you need an 10" Newton with an eyepiece with 2,5mm size.

  • Saturn and Jupiter has to be two of the coolest planets among other celestial bodies to see with a telescope... Thanks for the upload. :-)

  • what is the model of this scope?

  • @yourm0mlikesme 10" Reflector from Orion UK

  • @MarkgrafMichael Could you point me to a good guide to buying a telescope?

  • @mamatalu take a look here: teleskop-express.de

  • How long does it stay in your FOV

  • @imanoob4 What do you mean with FOV?

  • @MarkgrafMichael How long can you view saturn before you have to move your telescope again. 30 Seconds?

  • @imanoob4 so long if i want, i have an EQ6 with guiding

  • @MarkgrafMichael he means field of view

  • @MarkgrafMichael FOV means Feild of view as how long does it take to go from the left hand side to the right hand side with out moving the telescope :)

  • @kirza94 thats depending on the magnification, between 10 and 60 seconds

  • @MarkgrafMichael what magnification was this ?

  • @kirza94 150 x

  • Would the view be similar through an 80mm scope.

  • @Saren157 Yes it would look similar, but a little smaller

  • @MarkgrafMichael Thank you.

  • @Saren157 you are welcome

  • I LOVE kick ass Saturn! Beautiful! What scope was this?

  • @pagandeva2000 the scope is an 10 Inch Reflector from Orion UK

  • im not saying its fake, but wheres the other stars?

  • @2012TheAndromeda saturn is brighter than the stars, so you cannot see them

  • its hard to do this in scotland becuse of all the clouds

  • Why don't we have rings!

  • @tori7022 We do! theyre just made of garbage tho :(

  • Holy shit... I need to get one of those. How much did that cost you?

  • lol looks so fake to me i know its real but doesn't it look fake to anyone else

  • fantastic video, amazing!!!!

    A telescop with this size and mount and the video epuipment coast 1500$

  • Danke für deinen Kommentar und einen Gruß nach Österreich.

    Vielleicht sieht man sich auf der Emberger Alm am ITT ?

  • wow that's amazing... i wonder how much a telescope coasts?

  • saturn was the first planet i saw with my first telescope wow this planet was amazing

  • People don't understand that you are looking throught the Earths atmosphere that can cause the vision to shake through changes in temperatures of the air. Not to mention any microscopic movement is magnified many many times.

    By the way great shots.

  • Good pics! You can pick out the A and B Cassini Division.

    I saw the A and B division once in my 8" in the best seeing I have ever had and it was excellent.

  • Can you get much detail on Saturn through your scope? I looked at Saturn for the first time today (a few hours ago) using my new 8" dobsonian. It looked bright and I could see the rings but it was very small in my eyepiece. Smaller than a pea! I was using a 10mm and X2 barlow for eyepieces. So that gives me about 240X magnification. And I couldn't make out the cassini division. I enjoyed it anyways! :)

    I wonder if you see something similar with your telescope.

    Cheers!

  • @2plus2is9 That sounds about right for the size. You're not going to get a too big of an image with an 8". If you're seeing things clearly at 240x you're doing really good. Most of the time I'm viewing at 96x which is what I was using when I saw the division. Like I said, when I saw it, seeing was absolutely excellent. Just a really good night, had enough time to get my parents over to see it. Remember to let everything cool down too.

  • Thanks!

    Yes I usually take my time and let it cool down before use.

    I guess you used a lot of camera zoom to get the image this big if you used 96X? As far as I know aperture will only effect the brightness of the picture. The actual size of the planet in view would depend on two things: 1) the magnification provided by the eyepiece, 2) seeing conditions.

    But of course with a bigger aperture one can use higher magnification if the conditions allow it.

  • Anyway, I'm glad you had some nice seeing conditions and were able to share the view with your family!

  • I take it you have not seen saturn through a standard telescope laroche710?. It's not hubble you know!

  • No, this waving is because of Earths atmosphere dumass!!!!

  • oh my gosh is that really saturn!its the most beautiful ring planet

  • Such a beautiful planet!

  • Have you been using camera zoom when recording this?

  • @falloutgeek87 then you an idiot, I suggest you see these things for yourself.

  • im assuming youve never actually used a telescope before. this image was taken with a very high magnification, so it isnt a surprise that there arent any stars, and a lot of the time bright objects like planets, or our moon dim out stars. and regardless, a lot of cameras arent sensitive enough to pick out most of the stars me and u see with our naked eye. and you can tell it isnt fake because theres clear evidence of atmospheric turbulence. that "wobbling" is just air diffracting light

  • your right!

  • Don't worry, this is definitely real, i have seen the planets through telescopes and this is how they look. You wont see stars in the background as it has been highly magnified, thus only showing a very tiny proportion of the sky. If you zoom in 200 x with a telescope, the gaps between each star are quite large. When looking at planets at this magnification, you will not see any stars in the background.

  • @XxSEANANxX The reason there are no visible stars is because the camera would have to really overexpose, meaning that Saturn would appear bright and white in order for the stars to become visible. Plus there aren't many bright stars in the field of view where saturn is right now. The camera is simply not dynamic enough for multiple brightnesses to be captured.

  • @AchromaticRefractor ohh thankxx!!

  • I love the Music <3

  • Saturns largest moon Titan is visible in even a small telescope. If a bright enough background star or stars - will be visible. With a good 80mm refractor to anything larger you may see a few of the brighter moons. Most background stars are fainter than Titan.

  • The eye symbol that is associated with Horus and Ra, doesn't have anything do with the Sun, but Saturn.

    What does Saturn look like from an angle?

  • beautiful x10

  • thank you for your comment

  • How is it best to describe Saturn's beauty? As a giant celestial spinning top?

  • I have always noticed that Christmas is when a lot of telescopes are bought. My first scope was a 60mm Jason scope. I looked at the box and it beautiful photos of nebulas, Saturn and the Andromeda Galaxy in color. After all you new scope could go up to 450x. The parents would of been better off by taking their son/daughter to a Star Party and saving up money for a decent scope.

  • Look at NASA photos from the Cassini probe.

  • BEAUTIFUL.

  • thank you for your comment

  • Nice telescope from my telescope I can just see Saturn like star just bigger with a small ring

  • no surrounding stars? *eats jupiter and burps*

  • i mean saturn *uses the ring as a frisbee*

  • Beautiful, seeing conditions like that do not come around very often! Awesome video. There's video made with 18" Newtonians that don't even look this good.

  • Thank you for your comment.

  • Hawaii has some great nights and you don' freeze your but off.

  • i can see the rings with mizar 60/700 :/

  • wow!

  • OMG< you ACTUALLY saw that? omg! thats an amazing shot of saturn, are you sure thats a real image? because it looks pretty fake

  • what times does it have to be able to zoom???? to show the planets...?

  • how do you find the planets?

  • I found them to be lonely places.

  • Yes i jused an Infrared Filter

  • Did you use a filter of any sort?

  • I Swear I Can See A White Dot That Wont Twinkle AND I SWEAR ITS SATURN (I Can C Rings Sometimes If I Look Carefully)

  • You can see alot of planets with your bare eyes... here in sweden i can see jupiter easy at night and also venus in the morning, it looks like the brightest star to the east.... and saturn a little bit above that but not as easy to see as venus also in the morning...... however i doubt that you can see any rings around saturn......

  • WOW :O

  • i doubt very mch thta u can see saturns rings...

  • You should try to find someone with a half-decent telescope and look at it, it's beautiful seeing it real time! Great vid by the way

  • no i mean u cant see the rings through the telescope but some guy said that he can see the rings with his own eyes below thats what comment i was replying 2!.

  • what is better, your standard telescope or a dob, a dob right? isn't it easier to track stuff with a dob?

  • to pursue an objekt visually is a dob better. to make photos you need a standard teleskop with engines

  • No, the easiest mount you can track with is an equatorial mount. However, eq mounts are useless unless first polar aligning them, so in a sense, if you are a beginner, it's easier to start with a dob. Polar aligning, while not hard by any means, takes some time to do properly.

  • thank you

  • No Problem.

  • watch video response!

  • I see this......and I want to run out and get a telescope!!!!!

  • WOW. No other word for it.

  • I seen the rings of Saturn back in 87 or so (can't remember the year) but it was in the costellation Saggitarius. Where can I find it again? I'm sure it's moved through the night sky to another location

  • WOW... Think it's time for an upgrade! I bought a 4.5" Celestron when I was in the 7th grade (20 years ago). I can see the rings on Saturn but nothing even close to this. Very impressive.

  • just beautiful!

  • i wanna buy one of those how much would it cost

  • u can get it for about $800 watch my vid and u can see what it looks like

  • 400-1,800$,depends on how powerful u want it to be.

  • i had a 4.5 inch reflector and it did not look that good. Nice shot i am thinking about getting back into it. I might buy a 8 inch soon.

  • good idea. i had a 4.5 inch and i didnt do much observing for a year, but then i got a ten inch and it is amazing! an 8 inch will also do the job

  • i have the exact same scope a 10' orion dob newton reflector and saturn through mine looks exactly the same i must post a video response this is so cool!!!!!!!

  • dat is soo

    amazing!!

  • Great shot. I saw Saturn through high quality digital telescope once like this. Awesome.

  • Hubble was the one who got the most out of Pluto in the only recognizable image of the dwarf planet in 1995, including the overall brown-orange color and very faint pixelated features. Any other super telescope will just see a tiny dot.

  • epic stuff mate thx

  • is it real? i think no

  • saturn actually looks like a sticker in a telescope

  • That is sick!
