Thank you for the great and easy to understand videos, you are the only person I go to on CZcams for astronomy. Plus you always reply to everyone's comments/queries. Thank you for being there.
As always, a great video! The 5" Newtonian looks to be at the limit of the NexStar SLT mount. I found this to be the case with the f10 102mm refractor. In my experience, the NexStar SLT mount works much better with a small short tube refractor (Orion ST80) or smaller reflector ( Orion StarBlast 4.5).
You hit the nail about the feelings you go through with AP. I think I hit a wall last night and want to just take a break for a bit.
Just bought this for my dad’s birthday. Hope he’s going to love it!
Having used both computer systems, the Starsense is the only one I would want to use.
Hey John. I got the Celestron Nexstar 130 for Christmas. I had a quick question about checking the collimation. Did you make your own eyepiece with the hole in the middle or was that it bought for that specific purpose?
minunat. dar incearca sa faci colimarea cu tubul la orizontala (sau chiar putin aplecat in jos), astfel incat sa eviti o posibila deteriorare a oglinzii principale in cazul in care cheia imbus de reglare a oglinzii secundare ar scapa din mana.
I'm Antonio from Italy, i have the "Skywatcher Heritage" 130/650 with parabolic mirror high quality, in 180X magnifications sharp images, last summer i look Saturn with the white beld and Jupiter with the moons shadow.
Thank you for your great videos I just ordered the DX 130 AZ. as beginner, do you recommend a zoom lens for this? I just thought it would be easier than popping scopes on and off. I saw you recommended the 5mm X-cel eyepiece. Thanks
Hello John, I bought the celestron nexstar 130 slt two months ago and it’s really good, I saw many deep sky targets like the andromeda galaxy. I have a question, do you have some tips for alignment because the targets are almost never in the field of view of the 25 mm eyepiece. Thanks!
Thanks for this video! I just bought the StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ for my wife as a gift - arriving in a few days. I was comparing it with the NexStar 130SLT. So the 2 differences are the electronic mount with tracking vs manual, and price. Is that correct? Both have the same optics? Also, what I saw a few accessories, but didnt buy them yet, thinking let her first try it before investing more money on it. What are some accessories you suggest for the Explorer DX? Thanks in advance!
I’m a complete newbie when it comes to observing above. I was looking into the dx130 it’s a little out of my price range but I really like the idea of the app to help guide me until my knowledge builds. I just can’t seem to pull the trigger I don’t feel confident with my purchase. Looking for some advice. I want to view planets and nebula. Would the dx130 achieve that?
I was wondering about these 2 .I will get the dx 130 and save money
Which would be a better choice for a beginner the refractor 102dx or the reflector 130dx. I like the idea of having the starsense set up to help me get going.
hi. can i use the Astromaster 130EQ scope on a NexStar mount like you did with the 130DX?
Can we ordered the motorized nextar mount and use it for explorer DX. I have the explorer 130 DX but the tripod is out of commission. So I was thinking if we can just order the motorized mount and reattach the DX on that. Would that be possible?
I had heard that celestron sells a wedge for the nexstar mount and that you can run them in equatorial mode. Is this true?
What are those holes on the cover used for? I suspect a solar filter, but I have yet to see an explanation for what that hole in the cover is for.
Hello John. Suresh here from India. It's going to be my first telescope and I think I've narrowed down to two models - NexStar 130 SLT and NexStar 127 SLT. I am looking to see the moon, planets and also some deep space (if the models allow for). Which one would you recommend, and why? Thanks.
Should I buy a celestron Astromaster 130EQ Reflector or the 127 SLT?🤔
