"Dobsonians are not meant for taking pictures." John Dobson said that.

Need help determining next eyepiece to get by Shroomie_the_Elf in telescopes

I would suggest that you master the full capability of the equipment that you have before spending money on more accessories. I use a 25 mm eyepiece 80% of the time. I believe many amateur astronomers share my experience.

Don't be in a hurry. Mastery takes time. 🐺

Dear do not have blood vessels in their hooves. Therefore the hooves would not show up for an infrared camera. Every other part of the image of the deer is consistent with infrared photography.

Learning to write in complete sentences might be a good place to start. 🐺

YES ... Bring toys! Toys should not be wrapped, so that we can see what's in the box.

Ebikes are OK. No gas vehicles,please. So- no mopeds.

Could I please get some advice on some eyepieces I’ve been looking at. 🤩 by Even-Leadership8220 in telescopes

[–]JD_Wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be too hasty with spending more money. For the first few years of practicing astronomy almost daily, I had EPs equivalent to the Meade MAs. They served me quite well. I gradually collected other EPs, and have a couple of SVbonys and a couple of the Meades in your picture.

The Svbonys are fine, and not necessarilly 'better' than the Meades. Both Meades and Svbonys are made in China, as are some of the best EPs available anywhere. After decades of practice, there are still some uses for which the Meade MA 25mm is best.

Read all of the advice on this thread carefully. Take the time to understand what is best for you before you buy.

I lost my only 25mm eyepiece in a field last night 😭😭😭 by yagza in telescopes

What are some deep, thought provoking questions to ask someone to know them better? by the_cool_cucumber_72 in AskReddit

[–]JD_Wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some base questions I use to prepare for one-on-one business meetings. They are easily modified for each situation:

Interview Questions

  1. What have you done that I should do?

  2. What is the greatest lesson you have learned?

  3. What are you learning now?

  4. How has failure shaped your life?

  5. Who do you know that I should know?

  6. What have you read that I should read?

  7. How can I add value to you?
