I was bored today and decided to get out this telescope I got from a friend as a gift a while ago.
So I was looking through it and spying on my neighbourhood xD. I thought,'Hey, Why not try this o...

cool… but the red light is kinda irritating… gave me a headache…hey, i have a n82… is it possible to project the flash so that the target is illuminated? just wondering…
I hope your neighbours are understanding some people might get the wrong impression
Nice kinda creepy but stll nice.
nice please can tell me where u can get that telescope.
Google it you git.
thanks
, hopefully we will see more of this kinda stuff soon. or even better some sort of stands to put the N95 on and attach it to professional telescopes ^^

(PhysOrg.com) — For the first time, astronomers have found a supernova explosion with properties similiar to a gamma-ray burst, but without seeing any gamma rays from it. The discovery, using the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope, promises, the scientists say, to point the way toward locating many more examples of these mysterious explosions.
at 5:12 it looked like a city from sky
Just had a look outside, Luna, Mars and Orion and still quite low in the sky and it's a bit misty. May get the telescope out later.
NO they are some bit related but not much… It was invented my some retard who thought it would be funny to make 1 type of demented fish with another to creat a worse demnted fish… They are in a way some bit realted..

In a telescope where you can change the magnification it is a reflecting telescope and the eyepiece goes in the side. What you are actually doing is using a small telescope to look at a small part of the captured image and enlarge it for your eye – you are not changing the light capturing ability or enlargement of the over all telescope.
In a refracting telescope with the viewing on the end through lenses, you are using lenses the same way the camera does – adjusting the focal length and viewing the result.
How come in this video you talk about large magnifications, but in the other vids, with the same scope your advice for magnification is smaller. Did I miss a link? Or a trick?
In this price range you either have to sacrifice the electronics or sacrifice the optics, and I'd always vote for optics over electronics. It's great to have a computer point the scope at something, but if you can't see what it's pointing at, what's the point?
So here are the best deals you can get for around $400. I'm using Celestron and Orion as examples because I know their product line and own many of their products.
Full GoTo, 5.1" aperture: Celestron StarSeeker 130, $399.95:
DSC Dobsonian, 6" aperture: Orion XT6 IntelliScope, $499.95:
Manual Dobsonian, 8" aperture: Orion XT8 Classic, $369.95:
The first two can be hooked up to a computer, but also operate stand-alone with their built in computer. The first is motorized and goes to the object automatically. The second gives you two numbers on its hand controller and you move the scope manually until both numbers equal 000. If used with a computer, the computer software will show you onscreen where the scope is pointing, and you move the scope manually so that the pointer onscreen is on the object you wish to view; personally I find zeroing the numbers on the controller faster and easier to do. The third scope is strictly manual; you find objects by the traditional technique of starhopping. I own the second scope myself, and find that it is faster and quieter than a GoTo scope, and its battery lasts for months. The first option needs an external source of power, or you're replacing batteries every night. The third needs no batteries at all.
My choice of the three would be the 8" manual Dob, because aperture always wins. But the other two are valid choices if you want electronic assistance in finding things. But you need to realize that you are sacrificing aperture in the process: objects will not be as bright or as sharp as in the 8".

You need a powerful instrument that is mounted on a rock steady tripod and the scope must must be controlled by a motorized system to turn it in the precise direction of what it is you wish to observe and then track the object to compensate for the Earth's rotation.
Astronomical telescopes invert the image, because you don't care that a 'star' is upside down. The fewer mirror surfaces the light bounces off of, the less light is lost, the better.
Terrestrial observation telescopes do not invert the image (by adding an extra mirror to re-invert the image). You can always buy an astronomical telescope and add an image inverting mirror, too.
Hunters use small spotting 'scopes all the time. They have the inversion built into a prism inside the scope.

Creeped out that some window overlooking Carlyle's courtyard has a telescope in it. On a brighter note, it's another official snow day!
Given that Chile is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, how do astronomers protect their giant telescopes that have been built or are being built in the Chilean Andes? This blog post discusses how Chile’s most advanced facility — the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) — protects its precious 8.2-metre primary mirrors in the event of an earthquake.
It's the square root of 1450. It would have to be just over 38 meters in diameter.
Well, you don't actually need a telescope to see galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy is visible to the naked eye under a dark sky, and many other galaxies are visible in binoculars.
For serious observation of galaxies, I'd recommend a scope with an aperture of at least 8 inches, such as these:
Generally, the larger the aperture the better, for galaxies. You will also need to observe from a dark sky site; light pollution in cities really kills all but the brightest galaxies.
Don't expect to see galaxies as bright starry objects like you see in photographs. Through even a large amateur telescope they appear as ghostly pale wisps of light with very little detail and no stars visible. It's the fact that their light has travelled for millions of years to reach your eyeball that's really exciting, that and the fact that you can see them at all.
здорово, продолжайте
Hubble Telescope Photos:
The image projected at the focal plane will be 3 times larger in telescope A. Through the eyepiece, you will get identical images if you use an eyepiece in telescope B with 1/3 the focal length of the one in A.
(PhysOrg.com) — NASA today unveiled an interactive computer simulation that allows virtual explorers of all ages to dock the space shuttle at the International Space Station, experience a virtual trip to Mars or a lunar impact, and explore images of star formations taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
that lead scientist sounds like John Hurt lol
NO i didnt have many friends growing up but my mum used to say it was because i was special and people didnt want to be around special people……God loves me and thats all that counts!

I learned that it is best to settle on focusing on the moon with the least amount of "zoom" (can't think of word… dang it!!!) because the number one thing that most beginners do is try to have too much "zoom" because they want to get closer to the object. focus on the moon, and then maybe an extremely bright star, and move forward. When I got my telescope, it told me to start in the day time first. try to focus on a sign, and then a slide or something, just to get the hang of it first… jsut gradually get bigger, and practicing in the day time allows you to see the focusing and aiming errors that you can't tell so easily in the dark of night.
why didnt we have space class at school?
I LOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!
The Bad Astronomer writes “As much as 90% of previously hidden galaxies in the distant Universe have been found by astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Previous surveys had looked for distant (10 billion light years away) galaxies by searching in a wavelength of ultraviolet light emitted by hydrogen atoms — distant young galaxies should be blasting out this light, but very few were detected. The problem is that the ultraviolet light never gets out of the galaxies, so we never see them. In this new study, astronomers searched a different wavelength emitted by hydrogen, and voila, ten times as many galaxies could be seen, meaning 90% of them had been missed before.”

Imaging is probably the most expensive aspect of the hobby of astronomy, so what you're looking for probably doesn't exist.
For taking pictures of the Moon and Planets, you could get by with something like a Celestron Neximage camera with a laptop and a dobsonian telescope. Orion sells Dobsonians that are reasonably well made, at reasonable prices. The Starblast sells for about $200. You'd be better off with a somewhat larger one that includes a 2" focuser.
You could add a white light solar filter to the front of a dobsonian and take pictures of sun spots.
If you want to take photos showing solar prominences, and the granularity of the Sun, the "cheap way" to go is to buy something like a Coronado PST for about $500. You'll need a tripod for it. That scope is only useful for observing the Sun.
If you want to take photos of deep sky objects, you'll need a telescope that uses an equatorial mount. Inexpensive equatorial mounts are not stable enough for imaging.
Avoid any telescope that comes in a box that tells you how much power it has. If it says 300 POWER! and you can lift it, it's a toy that will be frustrating to use.
You'll probably need to spend at least $1,000 to get a suitable mount with a newtonian reflector designed for imaging. Then you'll need a different camera than you need for planets.
Most people I know who take astronomical images have spent at least $5,000 on their equipment. People who are serious about it often spend several times that.
My advice is find an astronomical society or club, and attend some meetings, and see what their members have. You might also try attending some "star parties" – these are gatherings of people who are very serious about the hobby, and it's not uncommon to find at least one person at a star party who is imaging.
Here is a link to some of my images: < >

Good luck.
The focal length of a telescope determines the magnification – all other things being equal…
Telescope A would have 3 times the magnification of B
Good movie ^^
and then the trees were stretching and yawning and they made a telescope
