I'm getting at sky watcher 12inch dobsonion, will the views be like this?

[bouiglob]

@siennarecords Yes they will be. Just be careful not to let anything fall on the mirror.

Hey man, can you tell me what type of lens you were using?

[bouiglob]

@thrashmetal81 10mm plossl attatched to a 3x barlow lens.

fantastic video!! I've just bought a meade etx-80. I'm a complete novice at astronomy and i'm extremely eager to learn about my scope and how to get the best out of it. I'm guessing I will never get to see a view like this video through my scope? Or could I? I have the basic eyepieces that came with the scope. Like I said im a bit of a novice. How could I get closer to the planets and galaxies? Can you recommend anything?

[bouiglob]

@twpburton The scope you are getting has a short focal length, so if you would like to see the planets close up you will need a 6mm lens and under. There is only one problem, the etx-80 has a small aperture, so as you use more powerful lenses the image may get blurry. You probably won't see Jupiter like in the video, but you will be able to see the cloud bands and the four moons. For galaxies, use a 20mm lens and up, you will need the large field of view, not power.

I have a lil question

how do you find objects in the skies? :D

sry for my bad english. I´m german

[WolfProductions27]

hy, i stabilized this video, you can see it under /watch?v=4qxYcJ1DLsU tell me if i should let it or take it down, you may download it and claim it yours, bye!

@MarcusMiddleton Idiot... thats the camera..

@IIXCygnusXII hi am new to this whole thing av just bought the jessops telescope ta900-114eq i have seen jupiter but it just looks like a normal star or when i adjust it goes blurry i can not see the planet like in these videos, i use the barlow 3x with the 6mm is this too much power like you said?

[IIXCygnusXII]

@IIXCygnusXII

oops that would be F/4.72

@IcechickenSr

You won't be able to see Jupiter in the eyepiece THIS BIG unless you want to look at a blurry image. Jupiter is a difficult planet to view. Top powers always depend on your local sky conditions as well. I have seen Jupiter at 300x, but it is rare to use that kind of power because of sky conditions. Best powers for Jupiter depend on the size of your telescope as well. I have a 10" f4/72 Skywatcher and I rarely go past 200x on Jupiter.

Cheers!

@bouiglob

This statement doesn't always hold true. Some galaxies require power to resolve, while others need lower power. It all depends on the brightness of them and the kind of galaxy as well.

[IIXCygnusXII]

Nice video! Looks pretty big! The smaller planets look like discs instead of points of light. you must have had a good night of seeing to get that and crank up the power. rarely does the sky let you do that!

Cheers!

Darn i caught Every planet but Saturn with a 5'

[freemanx2x]

nice ! but here on youtube you gotta upload UFO's and Nubiru and stuff... :-)
