how many times a telescope like this amplefied an object? nice vid

@ricardot82 Hi Ricard – Use a x2 or a x4 Barlow lens in the main but the best way to grasp how you get the larger image is think of the object the scope projects and is captured on the small camera CCD chip – then scale it up to the size of your TV or monitor – thats your major amplificaton factor. The enemy we have is always the “seeing conditions” = how steady that seeing is results in the quality of that final image.
When you see stars lower down in the sky “twinkle” thats the real enemy.

Brilliant…Thanks for taking the time and sharing

Awesome video and setup, thanks for posting!

Simplu

Simply amazing, also what is the beautiful music???

@Jbown1972 – O my goodness – I am sorry to say – I was just reading your question and went to type in the name and it “went” from my mind – (getting old I suspect) – I am feeling like I should be hammering on the keyboard at the moment but when the grey matter clears I will post the name for you – sorry – Shows Im human.

how much did u paid?

@ipadize See in my channel “Telescope home made to Meade LX200″ I posted this so you can see the road I came into astronomy on. Loads have asked the “cost” question and it still makes me smile so when you asked I felt it was time to show you a video using the very old photos of my old home made scope.
So is the cost that important…

im a simple guy and dont think to hard about much but when i look up my mind runs wild.

@Jbown1972 Dax Johnson – Still Small Voice , Next time check under the like bar.

@invalidblock Many thanks for the info – Peter

Nice scoop and Pictures
I can buy a LX200 12″ EMC without GPS. Is it the same ?
Now i have a Meade ETX LS 6″

Bye Danny from the Netherlands

@Broertje2005 – Wow – if its a good price and its in good nick go for it – GPS in a scope of that size not much help as its not portable and better off on a pier. My scope is much older than the one your looking at and mine does not have the EMC coating on the mirror – One other word of advice is try to take along someone else from your local astro club when you go to see / buy the scope so you dont miss anything. Thanks for you comment – good luck.
Regards Peter

@hemanfoo Thanks for posting – your right too – it does make you feel very small indeed when you look into the vast distances of our universe…
Regards Peter

@brucepeter2007 Hi Peter, without the tripod: 2400 dollars maybe less. I think about a metal column with a hard surface. Fixed place. I will think about it  Thanks for the advise and fast reply. Clear Skies ! Bye Danny

I just loved the video: i loved the way you did the tour and few pictures containing galaxies were taken as if they were 3D very detailed. Then I questioned to myself that how an optics placed in a drum/tube can reveal such splendid images of space buddies whilst on earth a trillion million miles away from them.

Good work really splendid astrophotos….

Darkskies! Keep sharing!

@twinengine1 Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so pleased you enjoyed the images. – Regards Peter

Wow, that is so cool! Hardwork with a good price.

@LizardYup Many thanks.

love it the moon and saturn are amazing

@elflacodel193ify Many thanks – It was Saturn that first got me “hooked”. Long time ago now but the thrill of seeing it never goes away.
Regards Peter

you are great, i love your pictures, and i love your telescope (i’m a bit jealous )

I wish i had something like that…did you build it by yourself, so lucky >.>

Well, I guess the next question is- did we land on the moon, or did we not?….
