@@Xindian_mapping_n_Edits it is not, unfortunately

@@kaden9572 oh.

@@kaden9572 GSO 8" white dobsonian telescope or 8" Orion XT8. Remember GSO is 2 cheaper in India with price of 38400 which is around 470$ I guess. Remember I only have budget till Orion XT8. For GSO 8" I can also have money to buy camera ASI224mc-s. So what would u prefer for me

@@ptanawong yep! With the correct T-mount I had no issues with taking images and video.

@@kaden9572 Thanks <3

@@saminewlin4523 thank you. If there’s a song you’d like me to attempt I’d love to try and play it

House on Sand by Nothing More

I would say so! The price of them has definitely increased though, I spent about 500 when I bought it… that’s crazy it’s gone up so much. The scope has helped up well though!

@@kaden9572 wow! You got yours for a good deal. This very one was going for $1200 but was marked down to $799 from HighPointScientific. I thought it was a good deal. Thanks again for sharing and responding to my question.

Once it extends they lock into place nicely. You also tighten them down, after that there is no play or wiggle at all. That said, no I haven't collimated it yet!

@@kaden9572 its really hard to believe. Might try and find one in real life and get touchy feely. Ty for the video i look forward to watching others.

@@jesuschrist2284 sounds good! Once I collimate I'll give you an update as well 👍

Whats wrong with particle board as a base? Or do you regularly soak your scope lol?

I haven't, but I just might

Different brand but same mount I used here: SVBONY Universal Cell Phone Adapter Mount Telescope Phone Mount for Binocular Monocular Spotting Scope Telescope Support Eyepiece Diameter 25 to 48mm a.co/d/4pJZFpC HOWEVER, if you're going to be doing phone astrophotography I'd recommend this one as it will make life a lot easier: Celestron - NexYZ - 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope - Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter - Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope a.co/d/cwK9bHU

@@kaden9572 Thank you very much!

Yep haha it's been confirmed, I'm getting for just 350aud, just 2 lenses included, only downside I've gotta catch the train with a mate to then lug it back together because mum's car broke down (I'm 16) Should put this telescopes portability to the test hahaha

There are many mounts that are similar to this one, I believe this particular one I got on Amazon called "svbony universal cell phone adapter mount"

@@kaden9572 thank you! That gives me a better starting point for searching.

@@lisa6223 happy to help!

I wish I did! I've yet to try one of their go-tos 😅

Still loving it. I definitely recommend buying or building your own sleeve cover to cover up the open section when it's extended. This will make your images clearer and add more contrast, especially if you're near external light sources

The kids I've had use this love it! It is pretty heavy, though. So if it's just for them, I'd maybe opt for a smaller scope!

Out of focus or collimation, did you get it sorted ?

It's actually held up really well! Still locks into position find. I'm actually surprised how well the collimation is holding up with it being collapsed back and forth so much

Oh man that's going to be amazing. Let us know how you like it!

I have placed it on small slopes like my driveway with no issues. Depending on how steep the slope is you should be fine. It's function will remain almost unchanged. Just maneuvering the pan and tilt of the scope would be slightly altered.

@@kaden9572 Thank you!

Because you're moving it around more, you'll have to collimate the telescope more often. Also, with a collapsable dob you can't use it for looking at the sun even with a solar filter. It still let's in too much light from the open section. Also, because it has that open section, it let's in more light from it's surroundings. So if you're near houses or other sources of light from nearby, that light will find its way inside through the open section and hurt your contrast and such. As far as I can tell, it's nothing drastic. I've used it in my backyard in the middle of town and can still see Jupiter, Saturn, and their moons just fine. But that's pretty much all of the cons I can think of... Pros are like you said, lighter, more portable, and also, you have the ability to do binocular viewing if you buy a binocular eyepiece set. Never tried it, but it looks way cool! I hope this helps!

Oh, also, to cope with the contrast issue, many people buy or make shrouds that wrap around the open section when it's extended and use a nice opaque fabric. You can buy these from sky-watcher directly as well, I think they're like $80. But that's gets rid of one con!

@@kaden9572 ok cool, thanks for all the info! I'm leaning more towards a solid tube, especially since you can look at the sun with one (with a filter of course). That's something I never even thought of trying with a telescope lol clear skies Kaden :)

@@SeanDS89 totally! I didn't know this until after I bought this one... But I totally understand! Getting a scope for the sun is definitely on my list of things to get hahah I've seen some amazing photos of the sun and man I gotta try it some day. Have fun with your scope!

@@kaden9572 thanks man, you too :)

does the screws, directly screw into the particle board or the screws are screwed into a pre threaded metal dowel when attaching the boards.

@@MegaGloryhunter there are pre-threaded locations

Great programs!

My pleasure!

Thank you! I'm glad I could help a little!!!

Very nice! It's such a great scope for the price

So stoked for you! I've absolutely loved this scope. I hope you enjoy yours! And thanks!!!

For sure, I'm fine with you using any of the clips. As long as credit is given, go ahead. When you are finished with your documentary, will you send me a link so I may see it as well? Thanks for your interest in my video! Kaden

Kaden Cox absolutely! Thank you for letting me use your clip!
