Newbie questions
Hi All
I have had 3 cloud free nights this week to find my way around the sky and the scope. Found saturn, Jupitor and the Nebula in Orion I'm hooked.
Started out using the 32mm EP then the 25 and 15 I can't use the 9 or 6 properly yet because the scope moves too much. Also moves while I change the EPs, especially from the 32 to the 25 - but working on it. Is this where magnets are best to balance it?
Barlows are used to increase magnification - how do you decide which is best? do they come in different sizes?
What are the screws that are near the focusser where the Eps go in - told you these are newbie questions - haven't noticed them until today in the light!!
The little fan is broken and I have to return it to Lee - otherwise all was well with the telescope
One other bit of exciting news
I'm going to Parkes with the Coonabarabran Astronomy Group to meet John Dobson - the inventor of the Dob.
