from the looks of it i'd say i had the exact same telescope, i didnt find it much usefull for anything apart from looking at the moon and neighbors. it is a refracting telescope which implies it will have a small radius and thus little light collected.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Let us know how it goes.

BTW are you able to use that telescope for land to land observations as well as the night sky? Like, how well can you spy on people down the street?


I haven't tried using it during the day. Hopefully it isn't going to be cloudy again tonight. I'm thinking of making an Astronomy Thread if I get the time in the General Forum.

i love how on TL, whenever there's a topic posted about something random like telescopes, seemingly out of NOWHERE a low post count user comes out and posts super detailed informative shit about the topic.



The wonderful mystique of TeamLiquid never ceases to amaze me.

You and your sis share a bunk bed? That's cute.

The telescope seems pretty cool though.


No, she just helped me put it togther. That's my brother's bunk and mine. She sleep in another room -.-

Jupiter is the first thing you will see right now. You can see it through the clouds sometimes even with the naked eye. But if you live too far west it may be too low on the horizon.



I do live in the Southern Hemisphere. Jupiter is very bright in the night sky, you can see it very clearly with the naked eye. I have a cheap pair of 12X32 binoculars, and I can faintly see two-three of Jupiter's moons.

Wow, that's so cheap T___T


Yeah, I was wow'ed by it as well. There were only three left, so I guess a lot of people have already bought.

Made sense to me If I can take photos using the telescope, I'll make sure to post them up. Again, if all goes well, I'll make an Astronomy thread, there has to be enthusiastic astronomers lurking on tl

That's nice, I want a telescope but I rather wait till I can move out of this whole light polluting asphalt jungle.

It's really cloudy tonight, so unfortunately I can't try it out, but I'm eagerly awaiting a clear night sky!


Any hot neighbors? >_>

What?
I know where my towel is.

All over fifty...

Anyway, there are cloudy patches and it's 8:25pm, still not dark enough to see any stars. There's no moon which will also help find darker objects. I hope it clears up a little!
