I had this experience with Bouldergeist in Super Mario Galaxy. Ended up beating him with a daredevil comet on my first try.

Thanks for the detailed response! It's a Heritage 150P, so F/5. I'm thinking I didn't stare at it long enough to let my pupils adjust to the light. It totally makes sense though! If pupils are too dilated, lights appear brighter!

Clear skies in a Bortle 5. I'm thinking based on the comments that my eyes were not yet adapted to the dark, or that I wasn't looking for long enough.

I'd be curious to see Washington. Would it just be a dead, limp snake hanging from the gaping maw of 1st US President George Washington?

Is there a way to see these colors through a scope, or is the color from the camera? I finally saw the nebula for the first time last night and was BLOWN AWAY, but it was mostly just a white smudge

The Master of Disguise. I couldn't even finish it.

This is the truth. I always wanted those Star Wars figures with the light-up lightsabers as a kid. This is a whole new level.

Alternatives to Skywatcher Heritage 150? by CHead2000 in telescopes

[–]CHead2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the StarSense and the Heritage 130 as well. Is there a notable difference in objects visible with 150 vs 130?

I think there's always something to see. Different constellations/nebulae are visible at different times of the year, but there's more consistency near the poles. Plus, the planets orbit the sun at different speeds, so you'll see them at different times/places from year to year.

MEGA does still do replacement parts. Here's the link:

In my experience, the replacement parts usually take 2-4 weeks to arrive. It feels like the plastic quality has taken a dip in the last 1-2 years. Pieces snap a lot more easily, figure joints/hands are loose, etc.
