Will I be disappointed with my 10 "Dobsonian telescope?
I just bought a Orion XT10 Intelliscope, and have only taken two times. I located M31 and M42, but it was a big disappointment! I did a little reading before I bought the scope, and I am also aware that what can be seen through an amateur level is not remotely like the images you see in the literature. But what I saw of the two objects are extremely weak seemed to blur. I was in a rural area in a perfectly clear night. There was some moonlight. Collimation is good because I just bought a clearinghouse of Orion, and met, focused and tested. Im just the standard eye, which are not the best, but before we have several hundred dollars in a panopticon or Nagler, I wonder what to expect. Can anyone describe or provide links to the images that represent what you can expect to see through the telescope in Good Condition with a quality eye? Im mainly from the DRG.
Well, the moon, after being in a dark sky does not do much good, since it can also be the center of the city. This is important for deep space objects. One thing you should keep in mind is that a general picture, ALWAYS have to show greater detail and color as visual use. If you can not imagine enjoying this hobby, knowing that then you probably have the wrong scope. However, I believe visual observation much more satisfying than looking at photographs. I've seen pictures of Saturn's hundreds of times in my life, but looking at the telescope still makes me happy. M42 is always beautiful in a dark sky. It does not look as clean as it does in pictures but seeing the photons with my own eyes is just wonderful. M31 looks like a bright, but still very big for me. What you have to understand is that although the enjoyment of visual astronomy requires practice. That does not make sense but you need to train your eyes to unravel the details of the weak. If any Once I go out with someone who has been doing this for a while, you'll find you can point your telescope at a very faint object and inform you about what they see and can be seen in the eyepiece and see almost nothing. It takes practice and time. Take time to look at things for a while. With a Dobsonian scope can be difficult because you have to manually track objects, but you definitely have to spend time looking. Focus on the features and you will notice that as time goes you will see more details. Also remember that the sky conditions at the time can affect vision. The best thing to do is try to find and join a local astronomy club. You find that to leave with other fans watching more experienced, you will begin to "learn" how to enjoy the hobby. As images who can tell you what you can find … so it's not really possible. The cameras and eyes to create images in very different ways. To make things brighter than the effect is very similar, but weaker, is totally different. The best you can hope for is sketches. Sketches will do the best job of showing what is likely to see because are based on what people actually see. Search around sketches of various objects and can help some more. Most will be Fluff GRD weak at first. After a time to train your eyes for more details and to see fainter objects. Amateur dating experience will help with this. It has helped me. You has a broad reach, so I think if you put a little effort into the fans who no doubt enjoy it more.
