Yes, I do know a modern telescope for very little investment will "blow the socks off" my old "toy" telescope. I was actually wanting to go old school and get paper charts. I traded up from my 60/700 with no regrets.Įdited by rhetfield, 21 July 2020 - 02:03 PM. These might be more compact for traveling with. Similar price for a decent 80mm shorty refractor. Keep in mind when buying more accessories that a 5"/F5 newt like a Zhumell 130 or an AWB Onesky will blow the socks off what you have for $200. Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will lose detail by the time you are down to 8mm, though the moon and venus may still look decent down to 5-6mm. Remember that any eyepiece or eyepiece/barlow combination below 12mm will begin to be grainy and dim with your scope. They will give you real time coordinates as long as they are properly aware of the current time and location.
Tablets work better - see more on the bigger screen. Often the biggest difference between the free version and the pay version is the number of objects in the catalog (also the more expensive ones will talk to the computerized/motorized scopes). There are apps like Stellarium, Sky Safari, and Skeye for smartphones and tablets.
