Great video bro, planning on purchasing the gso 8inch do, did u buy the barlow separately? How much did it cost? And how long was the footage that you stacked in case of planets and dso's?
Thank you, bro. I bought the Barlow separately for Rupees 6400/-. The planet footage was 2 to 3 minutes longer at 60fps. Regarding DSOs, there were 150 to 300 exposures, each lasting 0.5 seconds with 1600 ISO.
Nice video! Just a question, is there a difference between the Apertura, Sky-Watcher and Celestron 8” Donsonians? Just wondering besides the quality of them what would be different. I want a Apertura 8” but ai recently found there is an upgrade kit that is recommends to make it better specifically against the streets lights getting inside the optical tube. I wonder how those upgrades are not available from factory instead you have to buy the kit to installed. I live in a bortle 6, how this dobsonian will perform within the sky conditions?
Thank you for watching! Apertura is a rebranded GSO 8-inch Dobsonian telescope. It features an improved eyepiece, focuser, and finder scope. The Celestron 8-inch Dobsonian incorporates StarSense technology, which helps you locate targets more easily and quickly, but it comes with a mediocre eyepiece. I'm not familiar with the SkyWatcher model. Not sure about the upgrade but usually telescopes come with a matt black finish from the factory to increase contrast and prevent reflection. Alternatively, we can use Dew Shields. Regarding your last question, under a light pollution level of bottle 6, it will be difficult to locate targets with any telescope; however, planets and the moon can still be observed effectively despite light pollution. Remember, a larger aperture telescope will perform better in darker skies.
Amazing experience to watch them 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed!!! Thank you for watching😊
