Imagine if the world gets so polluted we can no longer see anything but the moon with our scopes - Bummer!

martian,I know probably half of the constellations. I would recommend getting a good star chart book, like night watch or similar. Stellrium software is also very good, and its opensource(freeware) probably the best software besides starry night, which isnt free. The numbers for exmaple 25mm is the focal length of the optics in the Eyepeice. Larger numbers mean less power, smaller number is more magnification. divide tube focal by ep focal. Tube=900mmx 25mm ep =36x magnification.

A few questions: Do you know your constellations? What are the mm numbers printed on the side of your eyepieces?

Good videos. Just purchased an Orion Astroview 6 EQ on craigslist for $200, (brand new condition) I like the EQ, I'm used to satellite gear, and once worked at Edmund Scientific grinding and polishing primaries. After 20 years I'm getting back into it. Keep up your series!
