Howdy all, I am fairly new to astronomy and am enjoying my XT4.5(had for 6 months), I know it's a small lil scope, but it offers very pleasing views from what...
Reid, You will have a zero chance of photographing DSOs with the XT10 Intelliscope. Well, maybe I shouldnt say zero because I'm sure somebody out there has...
The purple fringe is not that objectionable, I seen it through a 12-inch Al;van Clark refractor made in the 1880's and it showed the bruises on Jupiter from...
I'm hoping to get an LX-90 myself for photography and for the times when I'd like to be able to observe without the red illuminated star chart dance looking...
