  • omg I love this guy

  • you are the best.

  • what is the difference betwen the short tube or long tube telescopes. im a beginner and want to buy a telescope to see the moon and other planets like venus, mars, jupiter and saturn. Will a short tube like the one from the ''Orion ShortTube 80-A Refractor Telescope'' be good for me?

    someone answer please

  • This guy is brilliant. Thanks for all your advice!!!

  • So if I'm observing the Sun in H-alpha it's not astronomy? Eh? What about radio astronomy. Do I have to do that at night? LOL
