I’m struggling with my first telescope

Recent Notifications

Wonderful news! It gives me hope that my giant $400 Heritage 150 paperweight will turn into an exciting telescope when the skies clear in a few days. Have to always pay the new telescope cloud tax😂

Disappointed that nobody told me about cloud tax…2 days of tax paying before I could see if I collimated correctly or completely jacked up my telescope. 🤣 It is soooooooo worth it! I hope you get clear skies, and enjoy your scope!

UPDATE!!:::: I just wanted to come back and update you guys since you were all so so helpful to me. I got my Cheshire eyepiece in the mail, and it turns out not only was my primary mirror way out of whack, so was my secondary. After 2 ish hours of trial and error, and plenty of frustration, I got both mirrors collimated to the best of my ability. I also got my 2x Barlow in the mail the same day. We ended up with 2 days of flurrys and clouds after that, but tonight we finally got a clear sky and oh man, WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE. I was in tears. I made my husband who doesn’t brace the cold very well, come out and look at least 6 times. 🤣 He was unenthusiastic, but I was giddy. The pictures I were getting were horrible, so I just enjoyed my time out there. I saw the moon in gorgeous detail, I got to see Sirius, & Betelgeuse, I put on my 10mm & Barlow, and saw Orions nebula, Mars, and y’all, & I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE CLOUD BANDS ON JUPITER. I was so excited!!! I did miss Saturn & Venus tonight, they had already set, but I’m gonna go out earlier tomorrow if we still have clear skies and try again. I literally couldn’t have done any of this without you guys. Thank you sooooooo much to all of you that had helpful suggestions, and explained it to me in a way I could understand. I’m so excited at all the things I’m able to see now. It’s literally amazing, and I can’t thank y’all enough. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You! 😊
