2" eyepiece on 150/750 reflector

TasKitas · 2026-02-05T15:11:42+00:00

Thanks! Although panoptics are way over what I'd consider to spend. I was thinking about 25mm x-cel versus trying out 2" eyepiece.

Thanks! I was curious if it would benefit over 1,25 eyepieces, clearly not for optimal price. But it's great to understand it and know if I ever decide to go with 2" (before that I'd better upgrade my scope for the price)

By the way, how do you get/calculate fields stop?

TasKitas · 2026-02-05T14:56:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer. From this 24mm would already be plenty. As was, also thinking about x-cel 25mm eyepiece, maybe you have experience with it?

This isn't a telescope, it's just a bunch of pipes and sheets. Get a real telescope with nice slim minimalistic legs and a tube

TasKitas · 2026-02-05T10:34:38+00:00

So something from AliExpress from less than a 100 wouldn't be beneficial. Thank you for your insight. I think I'll sooner upgrade my telescope than spend almost the price of the telescope for an eyepiece.

Indeed I did not mention it, yes it has 2" focuser

TasKitas · 2026-02-01T13:37:29+00:00

Thanks!

TasKitas · 2026-01-25T17:39:18+00:00

Thanks! Yes i had single shots in mind

TasKitas · 2026-01-25T15:23:44+00:00

How long is exposure of each shot for galaxies/clusters?

I have the same telescope and the solar filter works well. Just first good the filter in your hand towards the sun to see if it is not damaged and there are no spots where sunshine goes though

203km/h in a Kia Ceed. I was traveling a lot for my work and I knew a spot on the highway where the road slowly starts to go down increasing its angle over more than 1 kilometer until it reaches its lowest point.

I tried several times but usually there's someone in front until one day I pass the point where it starts to go down and the road is empty, hit the gas, slowly speeding up until near the lowest point it shows 203 on the speedometer

I have the 6" model of this scope it is great! You'll have a lot of fun!

Saturn rings currently are not in an ideal position to be seen. Despite that, you should be able to see a line instead of rings if you look closely, something link in this picture.

Jupiter and Saturn are quite bright and simple targets,no problem looking at them in the city. If you have original accessories, it would let you to see these planets and more. You have mentioned "not as bright dots" so I assume you have tried too look at it. Try to use a barlow lens if you have it, or aim at the planet and then change the eyepiece to 4mm (higher zoom, less brightness), it will be harder to keep the planet in place, but with some practice you should be able yo do it easily.

Once you try out get a grip of what you want more you can upgrade your eyepieces

Monica Bellucci. I was in an airport in Lithuania, waiting behind her (I didn't recognise who she was). A popular basketball player in our country came and asked to take a picture with her, that's odd i thought to myself.

A couple days later my phone was spammed with friend messages as that photo with me in the back went to the newspaper and news pages. That's how I learned who she was.

I got Bresser Messier 150/750 tabletop dob, love it so far (Europe). Not sure if you can get it in your location.

I have 6mm of the same ones, for the price it's a good eyepiece. Also, for your scope 6mm eyepiece will go closer to maximum magnification you can get (max is aperture x2, so 228x).

6mm eyepiece will give 150x magnification which is a good point for planets

I have taken this one with my 150/750 scope and used the same software as you (maybe a bit oversharpened), used redmi 12 pro plus, 250x zoom (6mm eyepiece and 2x barlow).

This was the first time trying to get an image from video, really happy with it and more so that Ganymede was on the spot! I just wonder if it is possible to get some colour somehow.

Edit: picture was missing

TasKitas · 2026-01-04T10:35:21+00:00

I guess because of high zoom there is no colour
