Hi there! I'm your new fan.from Hungary. Your videos are really awesome. I love the way you explain things, they are so easy and fun to understand. As I also have a 130p telescope (Skywatcher Heritage Dobsonian), it was good to see what kind of sights I will probably have when searching for Jupiter or Saturn. I couldn't observe them yet, because of the awful weather in the last weeks. I would like to ask you some questions. 1. When you were making these videos of the 2 planets, did you leave the city and find a good spot with no light-pollution? 2. Did you experience those fluctuations with the planets because they were close to the horizon? How high should they be up in the sky to avoid that wobbeling? 3. How did you actually connect your Samsung Galaxy phone to your scope? Thank you for your answer in advance. Keep up that wonderful work you do to help us, absolute beginners, like I am.
Hello Csaba. First off,Thank you for your kind words my friend, I really appreciate it. Great to hear you have got a new telescope and are starting off in this amazing hobby, you've got so many awesome things to see for the first time. The Heritage dobs are great telescopes, so you are in for a treat. Hears the answers to your questions :) 1: No, in fact all my observations are done in my back yard, I do have quite a bit of light pollution but not to much to stop play. Don't worry to much about light pollution with some of the more brighter targets such as the moon and planets you will be fine, but you will need dark skies for most deep sky objects. But if you can get to darker skies they are always the best no matter what you look at. 2: Yes. You will always get that wobble when the planets are low to the horizon, so, yes that is why they were wobbling due to atmospheric disturbance. planets are always best viewed when they are at there highest point in the sky, this will very depending on what time of year it is. 3: I use a phone holder that is designed for the telescope you can get them quite cheap. I will leave a few links of videos I've made that may help you further. Hope this has cleared a few things up for you, enjoy you new telescope, stay safe, clear skies :) How to get the best views of the planets: ua-cam.com/video/wGGaPHwbWq8/v-deo.html phone astronomy : ua-cam.com/video/ePM5pf0X53s/v-deo.html

When you look at those distant objects, you are constantly reminded how insignificant your life is. Everyone should experience that and this way learn their place in the universe. Now I'm in the process of collecting eyepieces. It's tempting to buy some really good ones, but they cost a lot. Have you had any experiences with those quality EP-s? Like for example Baader Morpheus EPs. Are they worth their crazy price? I have Plössl ones so far and they are good for their price. Which magnification EPs would you recommend for observing Andromeda galaxy? (That is my dream target by the way) Stay safe, clear skies :) Csaba
@@csabadobos5173 Hello Csaba. I just recently discovered this nice channel and just wanted to say hello to you as we are basically neighbours - I'm from (western) Slovakia. That said, I really envy you much more dark skies you have the opportunity to visit than me in my region :D I also have the very same telescope you mentioned - I bought it cca a month ago. Jupiter and Saturn look great through it, don't they?! I hope you've found your best EP for observing Andromeda galaxy as the year passed since your comment - I use both defaultly packaged EPs, ie. 25 and 10mm. For the planets I often use my own 6mm with 2x barlow, but I'm planning to get 4mm to get a little bit more of magnification and image sharpness. I hope it will not be overkill for the scope though. So, how are your experiences with the scope so far?
Adjusting the mirrors is a very delicate and methodical (but easy once you get the hang of it) task known as collimation. It is the process of aligning the two mirrors so they reflect light correctly. Adjusting them without knowledge of this could render the scope useless. On UA-cam there are a great many helpful videos detailing the collimation of a reflector telescope and unless you know this already I suggest you check them out... The manual has some basic info at the back on this too.
I too have seen that red on planets. I have seen it on Mars and Jupiter and maybe other planets. It seems like its red on the top and some other color (which I forget) like green or something. I thought it might be chromatic aberration but I have seen it in Newtonians like yours.
Hello Iomaz, It was just the camera I was using because I couldn't see it in the eyepiece just on the camera screen, that is why I sounded a little bit confused on the video. But you are right, false colour is usually caused by chromatic aberration, but in this case it was just caused by the camera. Take care, all the best for 2021.
@@smalloptics753 Thanks for your response. I am still trying to figure out if what I am seeing is CA or not. If it is it could be the result of the eyepiece.
@@lornaz1975 Hi lornaz, your welcome. If you haven't upgraded the eyepieces that were provided with your telescope then it might be that. Don't be too worried about the longer focal length eyepieces 23mm and up, it's usually the 10mm and below that need upgrading to something a little better. Plossl's are a good first low cost choice.
I didn't see Jupiter's moons in your shot early in the video, still watching. I can see at least 4 or 5 moons when I view Jupiter from my back yard with my Celestron Starsense DX 130. What filter do you suggest to use to contrast Jupiter's atmosphere?
Hello there. To see the moons on camera you have to increase the brightness levels but doing so you lose detail in the planet. For filters there isn't a set rule as everybody's eyes are different, if you have a few to play around with do just that, I've found that something as simple as a moon filter works well as it darkens the cloud belts and improves contrast a little.
Hello T.w. Thank you my friend. Yes you need a phone holder for telescopes I'll leave a link so you know what to look for they are available on Amazon and other major shopping sites. Hope this helps www.harrisontelescopes.co.uk/acatalog/camera-brackets.html
Hello friend. When it comes to buying telescope always go for the largest aperture you can afford. As for is your telescope OK, yes your telescope is fine. If you're happy with the views you are seeing then that's all that matters.
This is a camera view and not what you see when looking in the telescope, right? All I see of Jupiter and Saturn are small white dots even with 8mm eye piece
Hello Abdelmonime. The telescope is a Skywatcher 130m you can now buy them for as little as £180-200 or whatever your countries equivalent is, that price also includes the tripod and mount.
Just bought a second hand one of these tonight. Closest I've been to a telescope is my air rifal. Stupid trying to figure out the mount in the dark but was desperate to see if it worked and pretty chuffed I managed to see Jupiter and moons could just make out the stripes but it was mostly blinding white but a clear defined circle. Do you have some kind of lenses to make it clearer? Also had a go ar Mars but such a nightmare trying to locate it, I'd use a sp25 and eye up the right area and then put an sp10 in to get a better look but somehow would lose it again and only manually moving the scope with my hands. I've got a think it says Barlow lens? Looks like an extender but couldn't figure out if it was more or less magnification. Need a full moon to practice with I think.
Hello, I have just bought this telescope, 2nd hand, I have not used it yet as its not dark. It only came with some 25x lens, of which I've no idea what it is. Can you please advise me what lens I should be buying to see the moon and Planets. Thank you very much
Hello Steven. The 25 mm lens/eyepiece will be ideal for the Moon and deep sky targets. For the planets you will need a little more power. I always recommend as a first upgrade a plossl design eyepiece (just search for "plossl" eyepieces) a 8, 9 or a 10 mm will give you enough magnification to see some detail in the planets. The same eyepieces can also be used on the Moon for a super upclose views. Hope this helps. Enjoy your new telescope 😀
@@stevenewart3873 Not necessarily no, the 10 mm should be enough for the planets but if you want a barlow go for a 2 x no more.. If you overpower the telescope you will not be able to get focus. A 10 mm eyepiece with a 2 X barlow is the max for your telescope. Any more than that and like I say you just won't get focus and keeping the target in the field of view will be almost impossible.. Always remember, the lower the magnification you use the better the overall views will be.. less is more :)
Hello Lupu, Eyepieces I used were 23mm & 10mm SVBony Aspheric with a 2x Celestron Omni barlow, no filters., I may have also used a 6mm Plossl. Hope this helps. Take care friend.
Dang, I may have to get one of these telescopes for myself! I do already have a Celestron 144az-SR telescope, but unfortunately that isn't motorised, I've been looking for a cheap one after all haha, but great video dude!
Hello Devilnero. Cameras never do justice to what you can actually see though the eyepiece.. When looking though the eyepiece when the conditions are right it does look 4K especially the moon :)
You want to have sharp image of Jupiter and his four moons avoiding atmosphere turbulence use D40mmF500mm, D50mm600mm refractors. Aperture D130mm is maximum for backyards.
Hello. I have konus 130/1000 telescope. I am using 12mm eyepiece and Jupiter throught it is super bright, i cant even see that stripes of gas…. What is wrong? Thank you for advice. I am a begginer and every advice means a Lot for me😊. Sorry for my english. Im not a native speaker☺️
Hello Juraj. The first thing that springs to mind is collimation.. When viewing the planets it is important to have your telescope in good collimation because you will be using high powered eyepiece's which are quite demanding on the telescope, so it is important to keep it well tuned..

Some people suggest that seeing Saturn and it's rings proves that planets exist and therefore outer space exists and therefore Earth is a planet in outer space. However, this is still a mere assumption. What is considered by much of society today to be planets were actually called wandering stars back in ancient times. As you can see in the telescope, it looks nothing like it does in textbooks, movies, etc. Most stars just look like a flickering light as well as the wanderers like Mars. Saturn and Jupiter seem to be bigger and have more detail. But I would argue that more detail and CGI depictions/paintings don't prove that Saturn and Jupiter are planets rather than stars. I definitely think it's a good idea for people to explore their world without relying on mainstream information that is easily handed over on a silver platter. In my experience, the truth is never that easy. The truth, in fact, is usually hard to find and must be uncovered and discovered. The truth, however, is not hidden; it is out there...
I could say exactly the same thing to you my friend I can assure you I'm going to believe hundreds of years of history and science more than I'm ever going to believe a person who watches too many flat Earth UA-cam videos. The problem is with you conspiracists you don't do any research you just rely on uneducated people making UA-cam videos, put 2+2 together and get 5... I say this in all politeness and do not mean to be rude..... The evidence for SPACE, PLANETS and a ROUND earth is overwhelming. Evidence for what you say is just speculation and bad research.
@@smalloptics753 It either sounds like you're making 2 contradictory statements OR you're calling, in your own opinion, "bad research" no research.

Why? Because, at the end of the day, you are exploring which is how you are able to discover - just as you are exploring the night sky through a telescope.
