What a telescope!! - Review by George C
Bought this for myself for christmas :P package arrived last week but finally got to try it tonight (28-12-11), found jupiter and once i played around with the focus and centred the planet and it's moons on the wide angle lens, decided to try the 10mm lens. after some refocusing and what not, the finest of details emerged. don't get me wrong the wide angle lens showed great detail but the 10mm focused just blew my mind. can't wait to find saturn over the next few days! if you can afford it, buy it, and then prepare for your mind to be blown! 10/10 (Posted on 28/12/11)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
How does this model compare against Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ MD Reflector Telescope w/ Motor Drive ? Obviously the aperture is higher in this model ( the other model has the motor drive but that doesn't concern me), does that mean that you can see nebulae with this model and not with the other ? Is the aperture the only difference ? Thankyou:)
A:
In general, the higher the aperture, the more you can see and the clearer the image quality, so in this case the F15012 one is better than the 130EQ. Both will be able to see the moon very well and the planets as well, bu the F15012 would be able to see the planets clearer - the planets would appear more blurry in the 130 EQ. The 150mm would also be able to give you a higher useful magnification than the 130eq.
At 150mm the F15012 would allow you to see bright nebulae, more details on planets like Jupiter, and more. You would be able to see galaxies as well. They would be faint but still visible. In all the aperture does make a difference - the bigger the better.
