Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
Yesterday we got the telescope we ordered. Look at the moon from 6:30am!

I know you will enjoy it. Is it a reflector or refractor? What magnification lens and camera were you using?
Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
I think it's a reflector. He took it with his phone camera. It was a 10mm lens.

Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
What is the diameter of the objective mirror? And I'm curious how the phone camera attached to the eyepiece? Sorry for the technical questions—I'm interested because I used to mess around with telescopes when I was young. That's just a gorgeous photo.
Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
I'll get back to you on the diameter of the objective mirror, and the camera question, he just put the phone up to the eyepiece.
No problem, I'm delighted that you are so interested!

Oh that's awesome Kitty. We used to have a telescope and I loved looking at the moon, being able to see craters is so cool.

114mm is the diameter of the objective mirror and 1000mm focal point. The 3 eye pieces we have are 20mm, a 10mm and a 4mm.

Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
Thanks. That's a pretty nice scope! - a big enough mirror to have some excellent light-gathering capability. Have you looked at any planets yet? I think Jupiter and Saturn are both visible right now in the evening sky.
Re: What Have You Gotten Lately?
Yes, I saw Saturn, even with a ring around it! It was too hard to get a picture of that one. Maybe one day we will get a camera that is actually for the telescope.

Look at the treasures I found recently!! I'm pleased with every one.
Jack and the Beanstalk is from 1944.
The Toy Hunt is from 1946.
The Three Bears Visit Goldilocks is from 1950.
Cowboy Tommy is from 1934.
Princess Idleways is from 1879.
I love them all. They are all so wonderful, and all but Princess Idleways has color pictures. I was lucky this week!
