Thanks for the replies... I am definitely going to go with the Celestron 8SE when I change... I am going to play around with this Celestron 4SE for a while.. My brother has the 6SE and he is waiting for a sale and he will probably change to an 8 SE also.. He says there may be a sale around Black Friday...

Astronomy Questions and more for LGDSO members and visitors alike! / First time with the Celestron 4SE
« on: July 31, 2019, 10:58:54 AM »
Last night I had my first chance to use my Celestron 4SE.. I set the telescope up in my driveway and only had a small area of clear viewing. But that area included Jupiter and Saturn.. I did not set my Go-To up, but rather searched the two manually.. All I can say was WOW, was I impressed with that little 4SE. Using my Celestron 8-24X EP, I could clearly see the bands of Jupiter and Jupiter's four moons. I then switched to Saturn and was further amazed when I could clearly see Saturn's rings and the Cassini Division between the rings.. This was more than I expected from the 4SE.... NOW, I have been bitten by the Aperture Bug and want a bigger scope... I am looking at either the 6SE or the 8SE..  I understand that both of these telescopes use the same tripod and one of my questions is this... Will the tripod that comes with the 8SE  be strong enough to work with the 8SE or will I have to get another tripod...//


Thanks

« on: June 13, 2019, 03:49:57 PM »
I've got most of my equipment and got it put together, so now, where is a good place to go to use it????  Robinson Preserve is not open at night, unless we have something scheduled, and I need to find a place that I can go and set up my telescope.. I live in West Bradenton, and would like a place that is somewhat close...  I just can't come up with any ideas...

HELP !!!!!
