Some questions about telescope accessories (I have a new 8 "Dob., F5.9, focal length 1200mm).?
All I have to go now her eyes are as follows: 9.7 mm and 20 mm Meade Super Plossls 4000 and Orion Sirius 25mm Plossl. I like to see planet, but I am excited about the possibility of taking galaxies and nebulae in the new scope. SO …… 1. What would be the first three accessories buy if you were me? Why? 2. Short vs long Barlows – What is the difference. 3. My scope will accept 1.25 's and 2 "eyepieces. Should I spend money initially in 2? 4. Good filters – filters bad – What's the difference? 5. Brand names to look for and to stay away from the eye. 6. ED Televue Plossl or Orion? What is superior. What eye (mark too) are best for the price? I know this is a question long enough. Feel free to answer only the parties you want. Best answer to who is the most useful. In advance to all responders – Thank you for spending time here. I appreciate your comments.
The first "Accessory" I would recommend is a local membership of the Astronomical Society of Astronomy, your club or in your area. If you join a club, you can assist their star parties and try for yourself each and every one of the accessories that you mentioned earlier, first hand, before you spend your money on something you do not like. Club members are most useful when it comes to checking out new "toys" and gadgets for scopes. You can also show you how to get the most out of your new scope and show where all the wonderful treasures are in heaven. These clubs have a lot borrowed equipment, guest speakers at membership meetings, lending libraries, and do not believe how nice these people is what all the new friends you make will stick with you lifetime. Go to this site to find a club in your area. This has only http://www.astroleague.org/societies/list clubs belonging to the National League of Astronomy so many more are not listed here. Continue searching with Google you do not see one in your area here.
