I have been looking at this scope for a while now and was wondering if anyone would say its any good.

I dont really care about looking at the Moon with it as I already have a scope for that but I want this to look at Bands on Jupiter and some detail on Saturn. Does anyone know if this scope can do it?

[fathom dagger]

I would recommend to get the biggest dobsonian you can

[steep stream]

So I'm assuming you want it for visual? Also what scope do you already have?

[wheat cosmos]

I currently have a 70070 ESSLNB telescope

its a 70mm and is really good for shooting the Moon

but not the best for Jupiter and stuff

The Moons are visable but really dim

Get a dobsonian

As big as you can get

Your not wrong if they want it for visual or planetary/lunar work. But, please ask them first(if it's not stated) if they want to do deep sky ap. They might believe that a long dob would be good.

@wheat cosmos do want to do astrophotography? If so, planetary or deep sky?

[wheat cosmos]

Planetary

But all the Dobs and stuff are out of my Budget, and I would much rather a Scope with a good tripod.

I want at least good Views of Jupiter and Its Bands, possibly even the Cassini Division on Saturn(Not sure if I spelt that right)

What's your budget?

[wheat cosmos]

At the moment anything below £220

Ik this is US but something like this

Just save up a bit more and maybe get a used one

Astrobiscuit's video of "getting Jupiter for under $100" has one similar I believe.

[wheat cosmos]

Alright no problem, thanks very much.

I would get a 6" dob, you almost can get one

[dense pine]

So ur saying a dob won't be goods for DSOs ?

For visual

[tidal cloak]

Dob is the best xd

[steep stream]

it depends. they would be good for visual if you get a dob tracked. With that said, many people have taken pictures of dso manually.

[tidal cloak]

Tracked isn't needed at all

It's visual

Not long exposure

[steep stream]

sorry i meant dso astrophotography

whoops lol

[tidal cloak]

Xd

[steep stream]

for visual, it doesnt matter.

[tidal cloak]

So to to confirm, a dob is the best for visual use.

[prime gale]

prob not the best dob

[shadow token]

Get a used dob

8” is very very good. A huge step up in performance compared to a 6”. Double the light
