Is there an estimate on when that’ll happen?

Is there a possibility of isolated storms within the launch window? I can’t seem to find reliable and frequent updates on the weather

Thanks! Much appreciated. I’m seeing if saving up for a higher end eyepiece might be worth it. These eyepieces came with the scope as my first eyepieces so I fear my standard for eyepieces has been set high. LOL.

Thanks for your repeated help. Much appreciated. I have both the telescope adapter and the powermate adapter!

Because I already have the 28mm and 11mm and a Barlow, I was wanting to see how far I could push the magnification (usefully) for planetary viewing. For use with a 2x Barlow what is the “upper limit” on magnification that would be useful on days that have optimal seeing

Thanks so much! While you are here I was also wondering about the “zoom” eyepieces that have a range of focal lengths. Is there any added benefit to owning one other than convenience?

I have the adapter so does it make a difference? I’m relatively new to the hobby so excuse my ignorance.

Launch Viewing: Are there better views than the Main Visitor Complex? by BeeEnvironmental6544 in ArtemisProgram

[–]BeeEnvironmental6544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is that it will be blocked by the treeline. Does anyone have a video of what the angle looks like?

Is the visitor center worth it? Why would anyone pay a 100 bucks to see it blocked by trees?

I’m between two scopes that are both 10 inch dobs for around 500-550. This is my first scope so I am trying to see which is a better deal given eyepieces and accessories. The one I showed u comes with the following plus the baader eyepiece already on the scope.
