Thank you. This is a good video for any beginner. Wish i knew this a looong time ago. But i guess youre never to old to learn more!?

Thank you for this video, great explanation!

Hey Michael, I am Michael!

Thank you very much.

The Celestron Astromaster 130 has a spherical mirror instead of a parabolic mirror.

Great video. Exactly what I needed.

Welcome back!

Thanks

If you are a new astronomer read the manual first.

Very good video, thanks.

Awesome input, thanks man. Wish I'd had an Astronomy professor like you in high-school

Every time I start looking at the night sky through telescopes or even camcorders...I start having these really wild and vivid dreams that won't let up for years! Maybe it's time again.

Celestron power seeker 127 is a hobby killer, a terrible choice due to its birds Jones design

Great video. I have been using a red dot finder. But my new 8x50 RACI finder scope will arrive today. So, I will get a chance to try it out. Thank you!

I tell you what! You are going to buy a laser collimator. Doing your method outdoor is too fiddly with pieces of paper and stuff.

Thank you! That's wonderful information to find for a first time owner.👍👍

this is really helpful! Thanks!!

I have this 🔭 national geographic 76/700 telescope All I can see is a blank ???

Thank you. You covered every question I had.

I picked a used DS2090 and the Autostar isn't very accurate despite 2 star alignment. The mount is too low and shakes too much when focusing. The stop in the tube was stopping the scope to 80mm so I moved it further down the tube. Moved the scope to a Celestron Heavy Duty Alt/AZ mount which is much steadier. What was really strange is the objective was flipped causing bad images at high magnification. I wouldn't recommend the scope based on the mount. Great video.

Hello sir, i stay in Delhi ncr (bortle-7) is it worth to buy a telescope at my place, will i be able to see things in the night sky. Should i buy an 8 inch dobsonian or 5 inch reflector. Please suggest me Thank you

Cool

Thanks for this detailed information.

Very good explanation!

Thanks for the video dude ! Super helpful

Great video!

Nice to see you back 😊 🔭

Good to see you back!

Glad to see your back. Please post more vids!

I don't understand the reason why you add powerseeker 127eq in the list 🤔🤔🤔. Once I owned this terrible scope. It is a hobby killer. It is very difficult to collimate and it never stay in place. It comes with low quality focuser and finderscope. Even to adjust the finderscope is a challenging task for this scope. It comes with 4mm eyepiece that gives 250x zoom and 3x barlow lens both are useless. The scope can't provide such high magnification (Celestron knows that). Celestron is cheating the customer. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCOP!!!!

Powerseeker or astromaster telescopes are actually not recommend for beginners. They are actually on many telescope black lists. There are much better telescopes like Skywatcher or Orion for the same price.

I'd love to add a PowerSeeker 127 to my growing scope collection. I currently own 6 scopes ranging from a 2.8" f/6 ED doublet to a 12" f/4.9 Dob, but I believe the 127 would feel a niche role that I'm missing in my scope storage room at the moment.... a trash can!! That's right, I'd love to find a Celestron PowerSeeker 127 or even a 114 to turn into a small telescope themed waste basket for my gear room.

Good to see you back :) I learned a lot from your previous videos.

I haven't watched your video yet but just wanted to say great to see you back!! I'm sure I'll enjoy watching this like I did all your other great uploads.

You're alive!! Haha nice upload man

Glad you're back!!

I love your videos, very informative and straight to the subject, but i disagree with the " beginner friendly scopes " like the power-seeker 127 u mentioned, which is a hobby killer, stay away from that.

Glad you're back with a new video.

My 8 x 50 RACI finder has crosshairs. While the intersecting point is in the center of view, the actual crossing "hairs" are not in line with the finder. Is this normal and of little significance, or is there a way to rotate the crosshairs?

Well made video, for even beginners like me. Learning so much. Thanks for sharing!!!

This video is quite old. It will not be missing of proper advice. Capturing analog information is something Smarter Every day 2 has been doing. I spent all day today watching analog camera recovery and learning about Kodak chemical process. All this stuff is so incredibly cool.

HI, What do you think about Mounting it on an AQ mount, and which one would you recommend for Intellescope 10 inch Dobsonian(Orion Skyquest?

As a rank beginner, I get frustrated when unfamiliar terms are not explained properly. Yours is the first video I've seen that translates Astronomy into plain English. Thank you!

Excellent video, and a great channel! Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Michael, in all of your astronomy videos. Every video I have seen on this channel is excellent. I just started sketching the sunspots I see while observing the Sun (yes, I have a full aperture solar filter), and 2 days later this pops up. Great tutorial! All the best, Buddy!!

Good video. btw folks details of how to make the light shroud are on his website. Thanks for the New Astronomer.

Where did you get that light shroud for that telescope? Please answer.

First time viewer, thank's for a clear and informative video!

well atm all i have are plossles. i open them up, wash the glass in warm water and Dawn, rinse in distilled water and alcohol, blow dry with a compressor (@30psi) clean any dust with a satin cloth - re assemble - good to go.

Very usefull
