Hello all.
This is my first post. Within the past week I've bought my first telescope. The Celestron Astromaster 140 Eq
Here are the following:
SPECIFICATIONS
OPTICAL DESIGN Reflector APERTURE 130 mm (5.12 in) FOCAL LENGTH 650 mm (25.59 in) FOCAL RATIO 5 EYEPIECE 1 20 mm (0.79 in) MAGNIFICATION 1 33 x EYEPIECE 2 10 mm (0.39 in) MAGNIFICATION 2 65 x MOUNT CG-3 Equatorial OPTICAL COATINGS Aluminum WEIGHT 24 lb (10.89 kg)
And.
I've also bought the,
Celestron Eyepieces i've bought in the set are the following kinda copy and pasting.
DESCRIPTION
The Eyepiece and Filter Kit (#94303) contains:
• Five Superior Grade Plössl Eyepieces - 1.25” — 4-element design with a 52° AFOV (32mm has 44° ) — Superb color resolution, edge sharpness and clarity. All eyepieces are fully multi-coated for maximum contrast and resolution. Supplied are a 4mm,6mm, 9mm, 15mm, and 32mm.
• Barlow Lens - 2x 1.25”— Compliments the Plössl eyepieces in this kit and gives you a total of ten power combinations. High grade glass optics with fully multicoated lenses are used so there is no degradation of image.
• Six Colored Eyepiece(Lunar and Planetary) Filters - 1.25” — Included are Kodak Wratten #12, #21, #25, #56, #58A, and #80A. Since you have all the eyepieces necessary to study the planets and moon in detail, these filters will greatly enhance your enjoyment of our solar system.
• Moon Filter - 1.25” — A neutral density filter which allows you maximum enjoyment of the moon especially during the brighter phases.
• Aluminum Carrying Case — This sturdy and well-built case fits all of the above items in the die-cut foam interior and has room for additional accessories.
Anyone know how to make the finder scope accurate by any chance?
I've also been observing the moon, the quality of it is just priceless.
As you see.
I'm kinda planing to get into Astronomy full-time as a hobby and a profession in the later years of my studying. From the time, I've wanted a telescope. I've started studying about all areas of Astronomy & Astrophysics. But now that I've got a telescope, I've looking for some pointers and some good direction to be pointed in as a guide or so :thumbsup:
