Toni Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Like the Zhumell 8-Inch Dobsonian Reflector Telescope.Whatcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have just looked it up, looks ok, never seen one here in the UK but Dobs are great value for money as you get more apature for your money than any other design. My dob cost 3,600 English pounds so you gota be keen for that outlay. :unsure:<br><br>Post edited by: Supernova, at: 2009/06/19 17:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernova Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Tommorow night is looking good for more Moon pics, if it is better I will try to take some shots with my BIG scope for you all. They will show the other side eg the sea of tranquillity where Neil Armstrong set foot. It all depends on the cloud, so fingies crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernova Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well in the good old world of Astronomy the cloud has won again :evil: The weather forcast has been saying clear spells but it is now 100% cover yet again. Not to worry the moon will always be there and as the full moon approaches we may see it soon. I am going to keep watch till about 10pm it is now 8pm So still time but I doubt it. :angry: :blush: Bernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for the pictures Bernie. I am a moon child so I just love to see close ups of the moon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks Bernie for the pictures, I look forward to seeing some you take on a clear night of a full moon, I love the moon when it is in the full phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks all, Toni, the Moon is 250,000 miles away on avg and if you could see through the scope it looks like you are flying over the surface, the pics on the computer loose a great deal of clarity and sharpness. luvparrots, I will use a much greater mag with the next bach after full moon. Judy Full, moon is awkard with a big scope because there is so much light magnified it makes my eyes go funny :blink: but I will try for you. To get a good pic now aint easy because it is low down just near roof hight and in some daylight. Just wait till winter :woohoo: :woohoo: I am very glad you like them it makes it worth while:) :) Bernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks so much Bernie, yeah don't worry so much about the full moon ones, I can wait until wintertime when you can get some good ones, thanks for sharing your passion with us, some of us can only dream.
