What extra things you need to have in these in order to watch the sun safely?
ARSA525 7 months ago
@ARSA525 You need to purchase a special sun filter that fits over the barrel of the telescope. It blocks about 99.9% of the light coming through and allows you to view the sun safely. I do not yet have one: its definitely on my list of things to get some day.

Really nice. I have one and can see similar moon with 25 mm, but I cannot take picture or video of it as clearly as you did. I think the thing that connects the cemera and the XT8 is not good in my case. Anyway, one question: how do you balance the telescope like XT8 when you put on the camera? I use a nikon and have to use a tripod to put in front of the telescope to get it balanced, but not ideal as I have to adjust it constantly. Can you let me know if you have some good idea here? Thanks!

@shglih Basically all I did was hold my Canon Powershot camera up to the lens to keep it steady. Then from there I could move the telescope around and keep a pretty good image.

Im soory, but i am new to this. I just wanted to know what part the 20mm. Is that the aperture or what is it?

@TheIrishWaffles It refers to the size of the part of the eyepiece that you look through, which is not very big (20 milimeters). Telescopes themselves are usually measured in inches.
