Hi all,
Astronewbie here
After getting my first pair of Binoculars (Saxon 11x70) for Christmas I've been out pretty much every night scanning around the sky and being blown away.
Luckily for me my Dad has been into Astronomy for a little while and is about to move up the ranks and buy a NextStar 8SE which means I get the
PowerSeeker 127EQ.
I know it's not the best scope in the world but I'm wondering if there are some lenses I could buy to make it a little better, it will be the scope I use in the backyard when I just want to have a quick look and get a bit of inspiration.
I've noticed with the lenses included the field of view is very narrow & for some reason M42 looks much better with Binoculars than through the scope (In suburban Perth, with a fair bit of light pollution).
That said tonight we saw the Orion Nebula, Venus (or at least we thought it was), the Pleiades & Jupiter and 4 moons so we were pretty happy!
Cheers in advance, looking forward to joining the community.
