I recently went through the notes in my observing journal. And the conclusion I came to, is that a binocular telescope is the ideal instrument for me. Or, in other words - Not only am I very keen on that type of instrument for astronomy - but, it has been the best fit for me in the past. But the fact is they aren't cheap...
Well, as promised I'd like to finally share some wonderful photographs — of the telescopes which are slated to be delivered to me.
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to their arrival...
I plan to add a lot more details, to go along with these photos in the future. For now — they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Feast your eyes on these beauties:
Edmund 4.25" Deluxe Space Conqueror
Front end of the E.S. 4.25" Deep Space Conqueror
Primary mirror of the E.S. 4.25" Deep Space Conqueror
(I like the look of the 3 simple collimation screws)
Now, for the 6" Edmund Scientifics' Super Space Conqueror:
A formidable looking instrument
Front end of the E.S. 6" Super Space Conqueror
(the orig. finderscope has been upgraded to a larger unit from Orion)
Fascinating clock drive of the 6" Super Space Conqueror
Primary mirror of 6" Super Space Conqueror, with orig. factory sticker visible
And here is a (randomly selected) photo, found via Google search, of the fourth and final telescope - Which I "gave up" for microscopy 🔬
😀
It is The Edmund Scientific model 3001, 6" Newtonian reflector.
All good things to those who wait...
Clear and steady skies!
