Excellent presentation. I'm glad you to see you getting into visual astronomy-- something close to my heart. And this is great information on the topic.
For using a mobile device, iOS accessibility color filters allows the whole device be set to a reddish palette. I even made a shortcut so I can trigger it from the Lock Screen. Unfortunately, android does not seem to have an equivalent.
I enjoyed the eyeglasses discussion. As a senior with astigmatism, I need to wear progressive lenses with astigmatism correction. I have found that a second pair of single-vision glasses in my prescription works MUSCH better, especially with low-magnification eyepieces.
Thanks for watching the video. Very good information about using the second pair of glasses. I'll be sure to mention this in a future video as it could be very useful to some viewers in a similar situation to you. Thanks for sharing. Ollie
Hi Ollie I really enjoyed this video , I remember my first telescope when I was in my teens a very cheap Tasco 3 inch refractor on a crap altaz mount but I will never forget seeing the moon, Jupiter, the orion nebula , then going to the local library to find out more information on the night sky and the things I could see with my scope I learn the constellation, I think people are missing out so much with today's technology just put you scope on the ground and it starts taking images for you without you even knowing anything about what your seeing ,I'm sure most will get bored very quickly and move on to the next must have thing , thanks again for taking the time to make these video's
@Tony-Elliott I agree Tony it's easy to miss out on a lot and just assume the more automated the better. There's a lot to be said for the process of working things out.
53:50 As a full tube, yes, but not as a lightweight lattice structure; it can definitely handle more. I have a 16 Inch 34kg 12kg is the heviest part it is build under 10 minutes an it is my most used scope after my H-alpha sun scope clear skies Felix
I wonder if Marcel considers the smaller true field of view of an F12 to be an issue on deep sky objects or does he mainly focus on planets? Also, what other aspects other than magnification and use of cheaper eyepieces does an F 12 scope provide?
Number of people doing visual astronomy is as many as astrophotographers. Thus, visual astronomers dominate at star parties. Many visual astronomers shop dual purpose equipment, which is good for both visual and astrophotography. For example, SCT scopes. They are very capable of. 95% pure visual astronomers prefer high-end Dobs. Finally, you could ask your friend whether he completed any astronomical league observation programs.

@tsulasbigadventures Hey Tsula - Thanks, I'm enjoying having these different experiences. Your videos have also been an inspiration in this direction.
This is a very very good discussion! kudos 👌
@@shahgazer thanks ! Very much
Very interesting, like!
Thanks mate

Cheers man, something bit different

Nice video ollie!! I can't do much visual from my city, I do observe moon, Double stars, and Bright Deep sky Objects!
Ye fair point Avanteesh very hard in high bortle zone. Cheers pal.

20mM Pentax for SCT.

i only share 1percecnt of astrophotography 😎 most is visual
I tend to use the panoptic 35 for everything. I have a selection of televue eyepieces, but this one keeps drawing me back
I've heard many good things about this eyepiece
