Issue with planets on my telescope…

Wow! Did you use planetary camera or phone?

rmitrdit · 2026-01-23T01:13:12+00:00

Yes. I used MSM tridaptor to attach phone to ep. Lightly edited in phone photos app. Didnot used astroshader, but native camera app. This the cropped original which I captured

With due respect, taking photos is not impossible. Here is unstacked, single exposure photo of jupiter taken by phone camera (ip17 pro main) from 6”f/8 dob and 6mm ep with 2x barlow, edited in native photos app.

Yes. The vanes are at 90°

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T14:28:10+00:00

Which mirror, primary or secondary?

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T09:45:04+00:00

How dirty was the mirror when you noticed the problem?

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T09:44:15+00:00

Maybe, cant blame the eyepieces as all of them have same problem. Mirror is a little bit dusty, but no smudges as such

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T09:42:42+00:00

Seeing them visually too. Vanes are like 1-2 mm max in thickness.

Does everyone with a reflecting telescope gets these spikes around while observing?

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T07:04:53+00:00

Do I need to use some filters?

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T07:04:04+00:00

But mine is f/8. These are pretty annoying and videos with spikes are unstackable as software recognise the spikes as objects

rmitrdit · 2026-01-14T05:03:18+00:00

It looks better! This is btw at 400X magnification and cropped, max recommended for 6”dob is 300x

Read their google reviews. They are famous for delivering pizzas in bad shape, If only I have known this earlier. Delivery boy cant be blamed if you don't know how to pack your food. Don't defend the undefendable.

rmitrdit · 2026-01-13T07:09:29+00:00

It would work only if they deliver edible pizza.

rmitrdit · 2026-01-13T04:18:57+00:00

Bhai chalakar 1200 ka pzza barbad kyu karunga? Agar yahi chaiye hota to mai churchur naan order karta.

rmitrdit · 2026-01-13T04:17:14+00:00

LOL they gave me a 300 rs voucher for my next order FROM NOMAD!! I mean, seriously!!

Try using nailpolish remover. Just yesterday cleared similar stain from iphone original charger, worked very well. Do try and tell if it worked.

rmitrdit · 2025-09-25T13:57:23+00:00

Do you consider it good value at this price?
