AstroMaster 130 EQ2: 130/650, F / 5, etc for deep sky?
Newtonian telescope astronomy: AstroMaster 130 EQ Celestron 2 parabolic mirror. Eye: 10 mm, 20 mm mounting equatorial mount cluster of stars, comets and bright deep sky objects (nebulae like Orion M42, Andromeda M31, etc.). Abberation coma is a problem?
I have a 10×50 binocular and for months I spend hours every night watching the sky studded Constelation, star cluster, etc. So decit to buy a telescope to observe more and more with great openness and some deep sky objects. I live in the country without light pollution. It This is a good telescope? Or maybe Skywatcher or something else … If anyone had this telescope plss tell me about the quality of the lens! Clear sky!
I had one of these areas for awhile, SkyWatcher version. While it’s a nice little telescope, the mounting was weak, and short focal length was more of a specialized instrument for low-power display rather than a telescope about everything.
If you are interested in observing the deep sky, See more openness is needed, for example 8 “or 10″ and a better more solid mounting as a Dobsonian. The same money buys a 6 “and 8″ Dobsonian, a much better choice for a first telescope. Here are few websites with good information on beginner’s telescopes:
You get the most value for your money with a Newtonian reflector on a Dobsonian mount, such as Orion. Buy from a store that specializes in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online, do not buy in department stores, discount stores or eBay as a whole what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try out different telescopes at one of their star parties
