Question: with our small 100mm f/4 dobsonian telescope* I use the 8mm** and 20mm*** eyepieces from our Nextstar 5SE.
This gives magnification of 50x and 20x. With the x2.25 barlow**** on order that's 112.5x and 45x.
For planet watching some more magnification would be nice. Is that realistic though, and if so, what would you recommend (and maybe works with the 5SE)
* Skywatcher Heritage 100p
** Something 8mm UWA 58º
*** Vixen LV20mm 50º
**** Baader Q-Barlow 2.25x -

The James Webb Space Telescope spent nearly eight hours staring into NGC 4696, a galaxy 145 million light-years away, and watched a river of cool gas pour into an 800-light-year disk spinning at 600 kilometers per second, feeding the supermassive black hole on a self-renewing loop

After having my Celestron SLT 130 telescope for some 10 years now, yesterday it broke. Exactly before the total solar eclipse next month...after I was preparing so much for it.
What broke? This shitty little plastic gear that got worn out over the years:
That's all. A terrible design pairing such badly made gears with metal ones. And now I cannot control the left/right movements of my telescope. And I cannot find a way to replace it. Or to buy the entire motor... Unless, maybe, I order it from USA/Canada and I pay a lot of money and may not arrive in time for the eclipse.
Hey Universe, not enough that I was already in a black hole mentally? You want more?! What else next ha?!
I give up man... :))
Fuck this shit. All of it. I wish I could sleep and just sleep. And not dream. But I can't even sleep for the past weeks. And when I do I always have nightmares.
Welcome to my downfall.
Is fine...I think I will survive. But that's the last thing I needed for the telescope to break. I also don't feel like buying a different one since it works, is just a little fucking gear/wheel....is just that I also broke something else when I opened it...so I likely need to get the entire engine for it...
I wish life was a stupid game and I can say: ok that's it, turn it off. I'll go back to the real life and not play this stupid game again.

60: Groovy skies tonight, you dig it?
1m: Umm why yes, but what's that noise you're making?
60:I'm golden with these gears but hey we can't all be cherry.
1m:You can say that again, my pointing model is already off...
60 from the 60's vs 1m from 2019 last night in #Toronto... a telescope face off 😂
and the end of the story is that they were both good #telescope and got all their research objects#observatory #science #Astrodon #astronomy #yorkuniversity @AllanICarswellObservatory
