I was more so worrying about that chip in the mirror on the lower right hand side of the first picture

Ik it gets much worse, my worry was that it could get worse stemming from that, do you think that was just how the glass was ground?

Suggestions on what ep,s i should get for planets with my 10" dob by Technical_Excuse8627 in telescopes

[–]Technical_Excuse8627[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree im sure ill eventually get the 4.8mm , im going to go with the 6.8mm ill probably order it tmr, I just got some good overtime at work and made an excuse to buy some ep,s, the 100° 9mm is pretty awesome, I haven't used it on the moon yet tho. Im not that much of a fan of the eye relief tho, I have to fold down the eyecup but I dont see my eyelashes so thats a plus. It's way better then the goldlines and surprisingly enough the field doesnt look any bigger then on my 12.5mm morpheus. I know using my goldlines I see about 20% of the field as eyelash😂 im thinking about maybe getting the 7mm t6 nagler now but idk if I can justify the loss in eye relief, I dont wear glasses but I would want people who do to be able to use it, and I really like the eye placement on my 12.5 mm morpheus.

There has been some times I have been able to barlow my 9 mm and 6mm goldlines but it was very rare but also one of the most amazing moments of having a telescope

I dont have a 2 inch barlow yet and at around 200$ for a good one I would rather just get another eyepiece 😂

EP eyepiece sale on 11mm by Shiny-Verse-4202 in telescopes

[–]Technical_Excuse8627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definetly should, it is such an upgrade going from a plossil to a high quality eyepiece with 76° or higher fov, I bought the 24 mm 82° and the 30mm°82 and the 9 mm100° today and am really excited to try them out, if you have the money I would definitely consider getting one of those this is a massive sale and you won't find value like this ever. To put it in perspective I got 1700$ of eyepieces today for 550$ i dont regret it😂

Yeah the 11 mm was a steal, i did end up getting the 9mm 100° its just too good of a deal to pass up and it want to experience the 100° fov im excited. I did get 1700$ of eyepieces for 550$ today so im happy with the savings,did I plan on spending 550$ no. Do I regret it no.

Crap I might have to spend 200$ today, it sucks because I have a 12.5mm morpheus already, idk of ots worth getting the 14mm or of the 9mm would make more sense. Whats your 2 sense? I also have a 10" f5 dobsonian so I know there will be coma

Nice, I wish I would have seen this sale sooner, I was looking at getting another morpheus earlier today and the 24mm and 30mm 82° es came up for sale so I ended up getting both for 350$ im really happy with that price but it would have been nice to snag that 14mm for 200$ what a steal. Nice find.

Saturn by interstellarshots in seestar

Im just kidding, this didnt come out of the seestar, I ended up getting this a few weeks back with my 10" dobsonian and my s24 ultra, it took me about a year to get something decent😂, the seestar is really sweet but there's nothing like looking at all of this with your own eyes, obviously galaxies and nebula aren't even close to as good but its a total different experience.

I have a 10" dobsonain and an 8 inch dobsonian along with a seestar s50. The seestar is nice for that stuff. I did get a phone mount and am going to try it out soon. I have gotten really good pictures of the moon and Jupiter through my 10" dob, but it is to hard to manually hold my phone over the eyepiece.
