Advice to all. Join …
Advice to all. Join your local astronomical society. Don’t just walk into a store and buy one on the advice of a salesman. Astronomers are a friendly bunch and they’ll help you out. @ KenConLock. Yes you can. But if you video an object thro the scope it will be very hazy and dance about due to refraction. Take stills and overlay them. Join your local society or club. They are here to help you. And they will.

How come in this video you talk about large magnifications, but in the other vids, with the same scope your advice for magnification is smaller. Did I miss a link? Or a trick?

@1stCAVMeserve For your first telescope, stay away from ebay scopes in general, there is a review of that scope on CloudyNights review site under the brand name Baytronix, not a good scope. Read some of the recommendations on CN and you can make a better decision on a first scope.

some planetary nebula along with planets the moon and some other deep space objects. In a year or two ill prob upgrade to a 6 to 8 inch reflector for deeper space viewing. If u are on a tight budget 4.5 ionches for 200 bucks is a lot nicer than 6-8 inches for 400

hi i am also a beginner and am looking for a telescope myself. Aperature is the most important thing. The more aperature u have the more detail u will see in images and this really comes to play with nebula and galaxy deep space viewing. A good deep space reflector should be around 6 inches for good detail. If you just want to get a head start on planets the moon and even some close nebulae like the orion nebula 4.5 in is a good start. I am getting a Meade DS130 telescope with 5 inches for

I broke part of the support arms on my german equatorial mount and could not after many phone calls and emails to celestron get the part i needed. Nice scope great optics but very poor after sales customer service. Solved the problem my self by making it out of wood. STAY CLEAR OF CELESTRON.
