lucid heron

toxic pond
is that a good price? it feels good to me.
toxic pond
i might have to pick it up honestly, i was up late last night reading forums comparing c5's to 4" apos
some people saying they can be had for the same price. certainly haven't found that to be the case so far
lucid heron
can u look at it in person?
see if there's scratches or anything on the primary mirror
who knows
lucid heron
that's genuinely an awesome price
toxic pond
there is another one for 350 but its bidding and also seems to have mold on the interior miniscus

toxic pond
i think i will, gotta make sure i really want it first tho
i also like to test combinations of eyepieces and scopes on targets
using a website
lucid heron
oh u ain't usin a dslr a mirrorless or an astrophotography camera?
i mean sure i also have eyepieces but i lowk use my dslr more
toxic pond
oh u ain't usin a dslr a mirrorless or an astrophotography camera?
it's too expensive 🥀
and yeah smart scopes are nice but i like looking through my telescopes a lot
lucid heron
and yeah smart scopes are nice but i like looking through my telescopes a lot
ik it's fire
ion got a smart scope tho
yet
imma buy a seestar s50 prolly
toxic pond

lucid heron
yeah there are lots of them second hand
not where i live
imma buy it from the actual site
there are 0 second hand ones here
toxic pond
maybe soon there will be
odd falcon
good deal
however that price could get you a 6inch dob new, or maybe 8 inch dob used if ur lucky
aperture is kingfor visual, if yo want goto, its good
serene owl
Id honestly only get a nexstar 8 at that price being completely honest.
toxic pond

i've had an 8" dob before. it's not for me
and i currently have a heritage 150p but i want something less barebones
lucid heron
i've had an 8" dob before. it's not for me
i have an 8 inch dob too gng i love it tho
toxic pond
i think if the area between the back doors and the garden was easier to navigate i would have kept it
lucid heron
i think if the area between the back doors and the garden was easier to navigate...
mine is the flex tube variant too so it's easier to carry when puttin it in a car or sum
this one
lucid heron
this one??
toxic pond
yeah i think it's really pretty
lucid heron
it is but lowk worse to use
toxic pond
not collapsing but still
toxic pond
they are removable so you can transport it collapsed
lucid heron
that's nice
toxic pond
basically the same as the skywatcher but takes longer
lucid heron
basically the same as the skywatcher but takes longer
nah cause the skywatcher makes it shorter
u can adjust those
toxic pond
yes and if you remove the truss tubes it becomes shorter
toxic pond
i am talking abt the meade
lucid heron
if u are going to buy it i highly suggest u getting a camera too
lucid heron
getting conflicting takes from ppl
i mean ye cause u don't have any type of camera to take pics with it
and u wanna focus on visual
a dob works better cause it captures more light at once
but after u get a camera the celestron is going to be better
i think you can thug it out with the celestron till u get a camera
if it doesn't take too much time
toxic pond
yeah i also just kinda really want an sct lol
lucid heron
yeah i also just kinda really want an sct lol
then go with the celestron
toxic pond
ill try to stick to it, no telling what i will be thinking tomorrow
lucid heron
u wanna do visual all the time tho?
cause u got a go to but it's lowk kinda useless when u use it for visual cause they're easy to spot anyway
toxic pond
i want to do a bit of both
lucid heron
then get the celestron and wait for a cam
toxic pond
i don't have trouble finding objects but it would be nice to track them over night
toxic pond
yeah true but the mount does have the eq wedge included
lucid heron
yeah true but the mount does have the eq wedge included
which
lucid heron
took a bit to find
i feel so stupid hold on
all the years I've known bout this scope
i did not know
it could do that
genuinely
like holy
toxic pond
it's bc it's not terribly great. more of a stop gap solution
lucid heron
it's bc it's not terribly great. more of a stop gap solution
i lowk might start lookin everywhere on the internet for that scope at that price u gettin it for ngl 🥹
cause holy
i did not know that
i feel like a ww2 veteran seeing an f-22 raptor for the first time
toxic pond
i imagine some of the more experienced imaging nerds here will tell us how many flaws it has but i think for a noob it will do

i looked on reddit people say it's not that good but it works
toxic pond
yeah that's what i heard
lucid heron

toxic pond
hope it's still there tomorrow
lucid heron
hope it's still there tomorrow
gl gng

that thing
how do u even do polar alignment with it
ye u can't
toxic pond
guess
lucid heron
guess what
toxic pond
or line up tripod leg
toxic pond
mhm lol
lucid heron
it's bout hopes and dreams
toxic pond
it's more of a half feature
serene owl
tbh i do kinda like the looks of the 8" meade lightbridge
The meade Lightbridge Dobs are pretty good and they can be taken apart nicely.
I own the 12'' model, its still pretty heavy but most of that is in the bottom part of the OTA.
toxic pond
it's bout hopes and dreams
i decided not to get it thanks to a helpful chat
some of the features are nice and the scope has a charm
but it offers no significant upgrade
thanks for talking through it with me though
