Answer: Not necessarily as a first scope though you could do alot worse.

The problems with Maksutov telescopes are, among other things a slow cool down time. While they are praised for their sharp planetary views (for their size, though still not as good as an apochromat refractor of the same size though Maks are a lot cheaper), you would have to let the scope sit outside for 1-2 hours before the optics cooled down to the ambient temperature before you were able to get the optimum view. And if you didn’t choose a night with steady seeing (calm air, no turbulence) you might still be disappointed with the view — though bad seeing will affect all telescopes.

Another issue, is the limited field of view even with the longest focal length eyepieces, due to the long focal length of the telescope itself. If you were trying to use low power to find an object the limited field of view would make it harder to find things, though if you have working GOTO that helps. It still won’t frame well large extended objects like the Double Cluster or the Andromeda galaxy, though there are focal reducers (which are like a reverse Barlow lens) available.

You will also need to get a dew shield and/or dew heater for the front of the telescope. Otherwise your viewing session will be over almost as soon as it has begun. And DO NOT WIPE the lenses when they are covered in dew. Allow them to air-dry or use a hair dryer after you bring the scope back inside.

Again, this is a decent telescope, but not an ideal first telescope. And some folks are more enamored with the Maksutov design than others.

Question: How dogs cover a drainage ditch?

I have a 55×3.5 "cement drainage ditch in my backyard that my tripod Siberian Husky has difficulty crossing. We had it covered with 1 / 2 "diamond mesh steel operation in the spring, which, while providing adequate basis for the dog, a) immediately began to rust, sag b) quite a lot of weight with people. We wish him robust replaced by something more durable, and without breaking the bank. I found industrial strength glass fiber reinforced plastic gridding online that would do the job, but cost more than $ 2400, and also quite heavy. Our landscape gardeners beats Redwood slats at a projected cost of about $ 1200 Any other materials / ideas / products I can look at? TIA, Sebastian

Answer Get treated 4×4 and support for steel lattice would take Some: for $ 20 or so years

Question: What’s the difference between circular and linear rays on a polarizing filter?

Which is better to get?
Nikon D80 18-135mm lens

Answer: Get the circular polarizer. It lets you decide which position the polarizer to be in. i.e. sometimes the rays you want to limit are from the left, sometimes the right, sometimes from above.

Put it on and spin it until you can see the scene change the way you want it.

Question: What is the difference betwee the filter wool and a sponge filter?

Hi I'm new to fish conservation and bought a filter sting-ray for my 30 liter tank. They say I need to change a filter sponge every 4 weeks and I found packs recharge also be quite expensive. I noticed wool filter was much less, and wondered if I could this stuff instead.

Answer: Generally, a filter designed to use only a sponge a sponge … padding wool filter or impede the flow bypass or allow too. sponges can be washed … and if you do not want to replace anyway.When do water changes, just run some water tank in a container and shake the towel in it and squeeze out …. and replace. The sponge on a Sting-Ray is not the biological and mechanical filtration off the tub … So basically are cycling the tank every time you remove / replace it because you are removing the bacteria from the tank. The "charging" packages are expensive, because only be changed when the sponge is completely consumed and not used …. time.By which is a long time to replace it can no longer be New fish-breeding that. " Then just replace a sponge … not all. Just rinse in water tank and water changes will be beautiful …. recommends replacement every 4 weeks is their way of making money.
