edhunter Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Holy crap. I was just looking at these this morning on Amazon. The 13-incher was 8 grand! I was considering buying a 6 or 8 inch model with the stimulus/ tax return money but even those are more than I want to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering buying a 6 or 8 inch model with the stimulus/ tax return money but even those are more than I want to spend. I was tempted to get an 11” scope, but settled for the 8”. I got a good strong mount in case I decide to get an 11” or 14” in the future. I had a cheap basic telescope when I was 12, and ever since then, I’ve dreamed of getting a REAL telescope. Well, now I’m getting one! Can’t wait to hook up my camera and take some tasty photos! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Off to a good start! The mount and tripod are heavy. There will be no simple "grab and go" when I'm transporting this thing! :o 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 It's been about two months since I bought it. Due to uncooperative weather and too many projects around the house, I haven't been able to use it much. This summer will be different! Jupiter, Saturn and Mars will be dazzling the evening sky. I had to get up at 2:30 am to see them this morning, and they were awesome. The waning quarter moon was also great. I bought some moon filters, which work really well. No pictures yet, but they're coming! Patience is a Jedi virtue.... :D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moons of Jupiter are apparently very visible. "Before sunrise" is obviously very early to be up, but curious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get Jupiter's moons, as distinct bright pixels, with a 210MM zoom on top of a Nikon D7200. I would LOVE to see them from this telescope.
