    I have one, the thing I noticed is that so far I thought I would be able to see mars as a planet, and not as a red dot like an ordinary star, I don’t know if I need a best eyepiece than the original ones or if I’m doing something wrong since I’m a beginner in the telescope thing, I’m open to any tip lol

  • @audio3980

    PSA: the Barlow Lens and the 10mm eyepiece are to be “sandwiched” together so that you can see Mars and Moon at very intense detail. The 25mm piece is only used for WIDE SPACE finding of an object. Once you zero in on a object you want to use, the Barlow Lenses and 10mm EYEPIECE sandwiched together would give you the ability to see the “RED DOT STORM” on Jupiter and the terrain on the moon when it is a FULL MOON and clear sky. You will also be able to see mars clearly and not just a “red dot” like your laser pointer. In summary, 25MM by itself to FIND YOUR OBJECT, then zero into the detail of said object with Barlow lens and 10MM eyepiece “sandwiched” together, and inserted into telescope.

    Astrophotography is most definitely possible with this telescope. So you can't see the more dim objects in the sky. But there are a lot that you can see AND using stacked images shot in RAW format, you can photograph them.
    If you can find your target the first time, you can continue to find it between exposures, right? Take a short (say, 2.5 seconds to avoid star trails---experiment to find the best ISO and exposure time for your camera) exposure, realign your telescope using the StarSense app IF needed, then the next exposure, and so on, until you fill your DSLR (or cellphone, if you don't have a DSLR) and have just enough room for your dark, bias, etc. images. How to work with RAW image data is an entirely different topic with many UA-cam tutorials to not only get you started but get you well beyond that.
    Then process your stacked RAW (future image) data in your favorite app for handling stacked RAW image data (Siril, Raw Therapee, and I think GIMP will work, too (since Photoshop does, and GIMP is basically a freeware version of Photoshop with a different UI - if it doesn't handle it out of the box, it will probably have a plug-in to do it), and others that are windows only.

      Put 25mm eyepiece into a focuser, Don't use a Barlow lens, make sure the objective cover is removed, slowly rotate focuser knobs moving focuser all the way out, then in, until you reach the focus.

      My experience with my phone is that, in normal camera mode the brightness is at the max,, which makes everything looks too bright..nd u can't see any details of the objects... try to reduce the brightness and play around with other adjustments in ur phone settings while taking photos....if u don't get any good results then try to take photos in night mode...

      What phone do you have? If you have a android you can go to raw photos and use the astrophotography settings. Generally though you gotta learn proper iso shutter speed ND etc, seems like alot but there's plenty of UA-cam videos or a Google search can get you on your way.

      ​@user-mr1dn3ml6c the issue with even with high magnification the apature is too small too allow alot of light to get a proper photo. If you have an android you can get decent photos if you learn how to use raw photo with a longer exposure time and stacking you can get decent photos. There's a whole other side of photography you gotta learn if you wanna get quality images

      It's complete fraud made by Chinese scammers and won't ever give sharp iamge at higher magnifications.
      You'll recognize those from focal length being way too long for the tube length.
      Newtonian simply always needs roughly as long tube as focal length.
