I agree with Mr. Williams. Celestron seems to be dumping the Skymaster series.

New to AstronomyPosted By Steve Shlafer |
I would start w/ naked eye viewing and then binocular viewing. it took me a year of both to get the bare beginnings of the "feel" of the night sky. There are things only the naked eye can see . This past spring/summer I remember my anticipation waiting for Altair to appear and complte the summer triangle. The Pleiades through good binoculars is a thrill not easily matched in most telescopes. There's so much to see. I wouldn't narrow my fov so early into your years of observing.

Wow. I saw the nebula w/ my large fujinon w/ nebula filters the other night. Your photo was terrific. The Pelican nebula in particular is awesome. Congratulations

I agree as well. It's cost that keeps a lot of us from 5" APOs. Burgess 5", not APO, but quite o.k. is reasonable in price.

Agree 100%. But for A-Mart we wouldn't have known of each other nor made those transactions.

Thanks. That's probably the easiest thing to do. I can even do that w/ a Megrez 80 SD.

Help! I'm getting my equations mixed up!Posted By Steve Shlafer |
Light collection as you describe it is a function of aperture, not a function of focal length.
