Met #Eugene #Astronomy club members this morning at 4am to look at the #Titan shadow transit on #Saturn's face. At 375x power on the club's 14.7" #Dobsonian telescope, it was at the limit of what we could discern, and depended on those instants of clear seeing that only show up every few minutes... briefly I saw the little dark dot just below the ring plane. Saturn was large and banded in grey, yellow and pale green. The rings were mostly edge on with no detail, but clear. It had what looked like two bright moons, one well out to the wast and a smaller one below to the east. The mount was not motorized, so you had to move it every 60 seconds or so as it scooted off the edge of the view.

Restoring a classic Dobsonian telescope:

I got lucky to revisit with my most challenging telescope restoration project:

Typical discussion in this house (beyond the rack mount circular argument) - #Newtonian vs #Dobsonian.
#BackyardAstronomy is a serious thing.

I saw an online recommendation for the #GSO #dobsonian #telescopes. Would you recommend a 10" dobsonian - http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-content-section-10-guansheng.htm

I just reviewed one of the smallest #Dobsonian telescopes ever made by #Celestron. Is it too small? Can the spherical mirror be fixed? Find out in the video: https://youtu.be/R-48AvSa3Lo

All of the stars lined up, so to speak, to get my best Jupiter image ever. Calm skies plus tracking telescope got great visuals.

I've got a computerised Celestron NexStar 130SLT (60th present from family) but sometimes it's a bit of a faff to assemble it and take it outside.
So I've ordered one of these to just pick up and go
Will report on how it performs :)

I've had no time to do any astronomy for fun recently. I was working until after 4am this morning so had very little sleep, but I just made myself take 30mins to explore #Jupiter, loads of #StarClusters, #M45 + #M31 with my #SkywatcherHeritage 74mm mini #Dobsonian #telescope. No imaging - just looking. This telescope is so much fun and I love it 🥰

I had perfect skies last night, but was too tired to pack the bike, so I opted for a nearby roof terrace in my Bortle 6-7 area.
This is my first real photo of #Saturn. A #Dobsonian #telescope really isn't a great fit for #astrophotography so it didn't come out very sharp (it's much more defined when looking through the scope).
You can also see Saturn in the photo of the telescope (the bright dot that the scope is pointed towards).
Also had clear view of Jupiter and the Galilean moons.

Telescope too heavy? Don't lift it... push it!

New video on my #Astronomy YT channel. In March I bought a #SkyWatcherHeritage 76mm diameter mini #Dobsonian #telescope. Visually it's way better than I expected, but can you use it for #Astrophotography? Watch here to find out! https://youtu.be/DmBhxu4rMs0 #MiniDob #LunarPhotography

If your automated telescope shows this error message, then your telescope is done for. Unless... you follow the steps in this video:

Everybody's Dobsonian strips a screw sometime. Here's how to fix it without destroying the optics:

The popular Orion Starblast small Dobsonian telescope has a fatal flaw. Fortunately, it can be fixed in five minutes with a piece of tape:

I cleaned one of the largest telescope mirrors ever made by Orion (and didn't shatter it). This is the next to last of the restoration series:

In Part 3 of the #giant telescope restoration, I fix the Synscan controller for my telescope using a pencil eraser! I also show the trick for updating the firmware. Enjoy!

Despite the #icestorm, I did more restoration of Orion's second largest telescope that they've ever sold, the 14" Goto Dobsonian. Here's PART 2 of the restoration. Enjoy!
