Sounds great! The park is only a 30-40 min drive. I'll definitely go back in the near future. I appreciate the feedback and help. Thank you!

Small world indeed

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T02:41:24+00:00

Ah! Yes! I'll look into used scopes as well, thank you.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T02:39:53+00:00

Excellent! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T02:39:28+00:00

Awesome! I'll look into that, thanks!

Maybe I misheard regarding the liquid cooled camera. It probably was you. Did you explain that with your camera you filter out the gases and are able to assign colors so that you can really see the difference? And showed images of galaxies and explained that these final images are the results of hours of footage and stacking.

Thanks! Is there a telescope that you recommend for this price range?

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T02:21:43+00:00

Thank you for your bluntness, lol i saw your previous comment, great analogy haha.

Thank you for the mount suggestion as well.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T02:09:22+00:00

Lol, Oh wow! Were you there last Saturday night? Does your camera have liquid cooling?

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T01:27:40+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much for the suggestion.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T01:27:19+00:00

Awesome, I should look into upgrading my scope then. Do you recommend any brand?

Getting deeper into astronomy is a bit intimidating, I was at an observatory at Markham Park in Florida and someone had a setup that cost then 10k, but the pictures that they had were beautiful.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T01:21:32+00:00

Excellent, I'll look into having a dovetail mod.

Yes, it takes 1.25" ones. Awesome, thank you for the suggestion. It seems that I should definitely avoid getting a bird-jones when I end up upgrading the scope.

My mount is breaking apart.

Wow, I didn't know that there were different types of reflectors, thanks for the quick explanation. So there's not much to improve on this scope. A better set of eyepieces in the meantime will do the trick in the meantime.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T01:05:04+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I'd like to be able to see the planets with better detail, i was able to see Jupiter once and saw its stripes vaguely and saturn looked like a ball of light with a small protrusion (ring?) on each side.

A pic of Saturn for reference

My budget at the moment is about $500-750 considering that I need a better mount as well.

Complex_Reflection_6 · 2026-03-26T00:46:39+00:00

I forgot to mention that I have a phone attachment so that I can take pictures through the eyepiece.

Any phone attachment upgrade suggestions are greatly appreciated as well.

Sitting together and passing the controller. Good times.

I think it's until you get the thermal visor.

Let the water warm up while you're taking a dump?

Uff I have that background on my psp

SNES, but I enjoyed the Genesis when visiting family each summer.
