Orion Classic Dobsonian Telescopes?


For weeks I have researched telescopes, reading many reviews and articles, and watching many videos. I've decided I want a dobsonian more than any other mount, and so far Orion's dobsonians have proven themselves the most preferable of dobsonians. However, I am unsure as to whether I should get the XT8 for 330.00 dollars, or jump all the way to the XT10 for 500.00 dollars. I do not mind the size in comparison to its optics quality.
Would the XT10 be worth that extra 170.00 dollars or should I go for the XT8?

All I can say is go for the XT10,it is a fine instrument and well worth the extra money.
Join a club,members are always willing to help and you can get some eyepiece time at a star party or two.

Design/Technology - Resistant materials - pewter casting?


Is there a technical name for the ladle used when transferring the liquid metal in pewter casting?

Is casting in pewter, using a wooden mould, called 'pewter casting'?

What is the name of the 'blow torch' that is attached to the gas supply, used to heat the pewter?

Sorry my mind went completely blank.
Ok, I've found out the ladle question - yes it is called a ladle.

I haven't been able to find a link, but a type of pewter casting is that used in the organ-building trade, where sheets of lead/tin alloy are formed in varying thicknesses, using a wedge-shaped wooden mould into which the molten metal alloy is poured, using (as you discovered) a ladle!

I think this would be the traditional way of making pewter-sheet also, which is a tin/copper alloy, but can also include alloys of lead/tin & antimony.

Interestingly, the mould is filled, and the "wedge" of the casting block adjusted to give a bigger or lesser flow of molten metal (depending upon the size of the gap through which the metal flows). In what is a very quick motion, the caster moves the mould down a long-table (possibly stone), controlled by guides, and the molten-metal is cast onto mole-skin, which is capable of resisting the heat.

Following that, the metal soldifies and cools, and is then rolled into rolls of sheet metal and stored, prior to it being cut up and formed into organ-pipes.

I have watched the process once, and it is amazing to watch the sheet cool and soldify into a shiny sheet of metal.

Interestingly, a group of engineers and metalurgists once watched the primitive process and burts out laughing, while on a tour of an organ-building factory. The organ-builder asked them if they could think of a better method, but after much scratching of heads, they could not.

The organ-builder said, "No, we've been doing it like this for 400 years, and neither can we!"

What are the best eyepieces to view Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Moon and the Orion Nebula?


I have a meade GoTo telescope and I want to see Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Moon and the Orion Nebula.
What eyepieces are good to view them?

It would help if we knew what telescope you own. What aperture, type, and focal length.

Generally to view the Orion nebula you want an eyepiece with a wide field of view, 30x to 60x. For the Moon and planets you want a high power 150x to 250x, but that is limited by your telescope's aperture. You should not use a magnification higher than twice your telescope's aperture in millimetres.

Question about the Celestron Star Hopper 8" Dobsonian Telescope.?


Does this scope have azimuth bearing and altitude bearing markings, like the Astromaster 130EQ?

No, not as standard equipment. Some people install scales on their Dobsonian mounts, and others install digital setting circles, but mostly people find things in the sky by starhopping.

Incidentally, the setting circles on the Astromaster 130EQ are not accurate enough to actually let you find things with them. Most simple equatorial mounts have such setting circles which have no real function, but are put there by the manufacturers to make the mounts look "scientific." The setting circles are way too small in size, inaccurately marked, and lack te verniers needed for accurately finding objects. Don't let the presence or absence of setting circles be a factor in choosing a telescope; they are really irrelevant.

Once again, I will recommend that you avoid the Astromaster 130EQ because of its poor mount and small aperture, and get an 8" or 10" Dobsonian instead.
