which are the largest telescopes a civilian can buy?


not being an astronomer
i have all the money in the world to buy it dont worry(not really i just want to know)

You can buy a 36 inch telescope (0.9 metres) for about $350000 dollars, although you would need an observatory building, which I believe is $17500 dollars.
Also the largest telescopes are bought by astronomers but they are not professionals. There are three in America with 20 inch telescopes, Rob Gendler (http://www.robgendlerastropics.com), Russell Croman (http://www.rc-astro.com) and R. Jay GaBany (http://www.cosmotography.com).
All these are regular people with regular jobs but they have managed to afford these massive scopes.
In fact an amateur called Jim Misti is selling his 32 inch (0.6 metres) for only $275000 dollars, check out his site at http://www.mistisoftware.com/astronomy

I want to buy a telescope for my boyfriend?


First off, I know nothing about telescopes. I know my boyfriend loves astrology and while talking to a friend he mentioned he would love to own a telescope.
I want to get him one for Christmas, but as I said i know nothing about them. I'm not looking to spend an incredible fortune on one, defiantly less than $200

Any suggestions??

Choosing a telescope is a very personal decision, so I strongly recommend that you include your boyfriend in the process, even if it does spoil the surprise a bit. $200 is a very tight budget for a telescope, and you run the strong risk of ending up with a junky kid's toy, unless you choose carefully.

Here are a few web pages with good information on beginner's telescopes:

http://www.gaherty.ca/tme/TME0702_Buying_a_Telescope.pdf

http://www.scopereviews.com/begin.html

http://observers.org/beginner/j.r.f.beginner.html

For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (Wiley).

You'll get the greatest value for your money with a Newtonian reflector on a Dobsonian mount, such as these:

http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/product.php?class1=1&class2=106

Buy from a store which specializes in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online; don't buy from department stores, discount stores or eBay as mostly what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try out different telescopes at one of their star parties:

http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/organizations

I know of only two telescopes under $200 which I would recommend:

2 Eyepiece Telescope
2 Eyepiece Telescope
Can 2 barlow lenses be used at once on a telescope?


Say I had a 1.8x barlow and put into the telescope with a 2x or 3x barlow and an eyepiece....instead of using one larger barlow.

It should work...correct? I know that it may degrade image quality by being put through more glass before the eyepiece.

Just not 100% sure.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!
And I'm talking about a semi-large scope(18" - 40"+),where loss of light isn't an issue. I understand the loss-of-light.

Certainly this will work, but I wouldn't recommend it. Aside from the aberrations and light loss from two Barlows, the magnification achieved would be too high to be useful.

I've never used a Barlow with more than 2.5x amplification myself, and only use that for lunar and planetary photography on my 11" SCT. I almost never use a Barlow visually because the short focal length eyepieces available nowadays are much better quality than any Barlow. Anyone who has used a Tele Vue Radian eyepiece (or equivalent) will never go back to using a Barlow. I've found that other experienced observers never use Barlows either.

I have nothing against Barlows, and often recommend them to beginners as a way to increase their eyepiece collection inexpensively, but the performance of today's short-focal-length long-eye-relief eyepieces is so much better that most advanced observers use them in preference to Barlows.

Differences between telescope eyepieces?


Hi,

I've been considering getting a telescope for some time now, and with that purchase, I plan on getting some eyepieces to make the experience more enjoyable. So, my question is, what are the main differences between zoom, 1.25" and 2" eyepieces? I've heard 2" are more comfortable than 1.25" for your eyes-- is this true? Is this the only difference? And do zoom eyepieces have less contrast and resolution than other eyepieces? Also, if I attach a power-mate to my eyepieces, will this affect the picture whatsoever in the proccess of it's magnification?

Thanks!
Just an added question if anybody knows, although it sounds silly to be asked: Can you use your telescope during the day providing you have a sun filter? (It's a Catadioptric telescope if it makes a difference)

Hello -

1. Eyepieces represent the heart of your scope. Buying cheap eyepieces makes no sense, since you will eventually replace them. I have found that the 2 inch Nagler eyepieces make a significant difference in the quality of my observing experience. The 2 inch format is certainly nice for the wide field views, and I have found that it is easier for kids and other visitors to adapt to when they don't quite know where to look. If I did not have these (admittedly expensive) eyepieces, I would be saving up to get them eventually.

2. When you think about the precision involved in the design and manufacture of good eyepieces, you can see that the tolerance stackups inherent in allowing moving parts to move don't make sense. Zoom eyepieces are like that; all show and no go. The quality of the image is not as good, and you are paying for a lot of extra hardware that doesn't do anything that is really necessary. Most serious amateurs avoid them.

3. I have found that Barlows are also generally not a good investment. Even a good one, like a Powermate, will never provide the image quality that you can get by just using the eyepiece that provides the magnification you are looking for. So - again - you are buying something that you will eventually throw away because you have a better option.

4. You can certainly use a catadioptric scope during the day. If you are observing the sun, I would never use anything but a well established and well attached commercial filter - one that goes on the big cold end, not the little hot end. You can also see planets, although the view is much clearer at night - and they can be tough to find. If you looking at terrestrial targets (birds, boats, girls on the beach) you should be aware that the image will be inverted and reversed, so you may get confused by what you are seeing vs. what's really out there.

My advice is to be patient. Don't buy all your eyepieces now. Buy one really good one (preferably low power wide field). Learn to use the scope. Learn the night sky. then buy new eyepieces/ accessories as needed. Once, not twice.
