![]() It will grow over the next month as it gets closer to the Earth and changes to a more "crescent" phase. It is exhibiting about a "half-moon" phase right now and is still pretty small. Mike here: Yep, that bright object in the evening sky is Venus. Good for looking at a bird 2 miles away?. Am I doing anything wrong? Or is this telescope only This though my ETX60 with a 2X Barlow and a 9mm is still The Autostar.The last couple of nights, right above the moon (aroundĦ-7 o'clockpm) there is a bright object. Also be certain that the date/time/location are all correct.įirst thing I reall enjoyed your web site. When he did a better alignment, the scope stopped where it should. Turned out (posted with this update) that my comment about misalignment was correct. Mike here: Further down this page is a similar report. This starts none of the buttons seem to make it stop and, I have to Search, if I don't press the mode key within a few seconds the systemĭirects the scope almost straight up, and it slowly skews around. ![]() When I try to use autostar either to align or Problem if everything is operating as it should be. This way you shouldīe able to tell where the problem lies as you shouldn't have this Refocusing when you're going through the eyepieces. It on a land object during the daytime - the ETX-70 does take a *lot* of ![]() It might be worth getting used to how the telescope focuses by sighting Views of Saturn with a 9mm + 2x Barlow (I don't own a 3x). It doesn't sound like a problem with the ETX-70 - I usually get sharp Just a note for Allen Kezer and his problems with focusing and Barlows. Subject: RE: Questions about ETX-70 and/or eyepieces That will let you know what the difference should be. Compare that to the power of your binoculars (7X, 8X, 10X, or whatever). Mike here: What eyepieces do you have with your ETX-70AT? Divide their focal length into the focal length of the telescope (350mm) and you will get the magnification (power) of each eyepiece. Can you HELP!!!! I'm very new to this.since Xmas Could I need to know if, and what I'mĭoing wrong. Supplied with the scope, I can not bring the mountains closer in view I have aīeautiful view of some distant mountains, but with the lens that was Land viewing, I can view objects better with my binoculars. My search or quest for information, was that while using this scope for Site where this has also happened to some other people. I also received the EXT-70AT (which is what's on the box),īut the information package inside was for an EXT-70EC. Hi, I came accross your web site while searching for information on theĮXT-70AT. For serious work, the design of the telescope can be a factor but for many casual amateurs, a reflector or refractor (or combination designs like the ETX and others) is not that much a consideration. So, for the ETX-70AT, that would be 140X. Typically, the theoretical maximum magnification is twice the aperture diameter in millimeters or 50-60X per inch of aperture. The size of the telescope aperture is a measure of how much magnification can be used with the telescope. Magnification = telescope FL / eyepiece FL ![]() The longer the focal length the higher the magnification with a given eyepiece. Mike here: Focal length of a telescope is a measure of how "powerful" it is. Something like a 900mm Reflector Telescope, then I would rather buy the On which telescopes will the planetary objects be bigger or moreĭetailed? If what I'm going to see with the ETX-70 is the same with If this is significant, but want to mention it anyway). Telescope that features a focal length of 700mm to 1200mm (i'm not sure Anyway, my main question is how doesĪ Meade ETX-70AT compare with a Meade DS 114-EC or any other Reflector Reflector and Refractor, but I'm not sure what's the difference between I've been checking out catalogs of astronomical telescopes, both Subject: Meade ETX-70AT vs Meade DS 114 EC Reflector Telescope Please use an appropriate Subject Line on your message.
