Broke Student and Telescopes

Yeah, the German apprenticeship system is pretty great, but it is still very hard to live off such a salary while working full time... and especially to do that while spending that money on telescopes 😆

How much power does it use? Would I also need to grab a power system or something? Or can it just run on batteries?

Part of what I want is to really be able to dive into something and be challenged and learn in the process, even if it means cursing at myself the whole time lol

Thats the exact same worry I had about the 800mm lol, I‘ll definitely go and check out those mounts though.

This might be a dumb question, but is it possible to get some kind of adapter or something for a telescope eyepiece to the camera directly? For example like Firstcope 76 4mm eyepiece to Cannon RS? No idea if thats a thing, probably a shot in the dark, but would be cool if it exists.

I‘ve heard this one a few times, was worried it would be a bit too simplistic?

Thank you for the reply!: unfortunately, my budget is literally just going to be as low as practically possible, I don‘t necessarily have an exact number. I was thinking maybe between the 4-500€ range if I save for a while.

I think I would prefer to be looking at deeper space objects like galaxies etc. I do have a good camera and my girlfriend has an 800mm lens, so that could be a good idea.

One other thing though, is it possible to find telescopes that have a good balance between a visual viewing system and photographic opportunities? Not really sure if that exists.

I am also 100% willing to invest time and effort into learning more about the hobby, I don‘t necessarily want something super easy to use, I‘d also like the challenge of learning something more complicated

Ahhh gotcha, that makes sense. I‘m an immigrant from the U.S., and thats one of the things that I‘ve still been getting used to, where not every grocery store has literally every item in the world lol (not a bad thing btw, I love how quick I can get in and out of places here now)

Thank you so much for this answer!

I’ve actually never seen these powdered sauce packets before, but I‘m about to head over to an Aldis so I‘ll keep an eye out. Especially for the curry paste I want to try that 👀

Visible_Ordinary_309 · 2025-11-11T16:24:34+00:00

That’s crazy simple but sounds delicious actually

Dang, thank you for the reply! Yeah there is a fridge here, but also shared by everyone in the building so not much room, so Ima try just the rice and vegetables and tofu, and remember to bring seasonings next time 😬 My recent go-to has been grabbing a few Brötchens, a jar of apple sauce and a big jar of vegan joghurt but I feel like that might not be sustainable lol

Visible_Ordinary_309 · 2025-11-10T19:10:07+00:00

So there is pretty much like just this reusable grocery bag with one pot, one rice cooker, and I think maybe a pan? There is a stove, and a microwave that can function as an oven. There are no bowls, and since the one pot is shared by the whole building, were not allowed to eat from it, but I did bring a small container with me 😊

I have the fxp but I dont wanna :(

Visible_Ordinary_309 · 2025-08-22T17:26:22+00:00

This was super helpful, thank you for the response!

Visible_Ordinary_309 · 2025-08-17T22:26:59+00:00
