How far can you see in to space with a 6" Reflector mirror telescope?
I’m getting a Orion StarBlast 6i IntelliScope Reflector
About 13 billion light years. Just like with any other decent optical device, including your eye.
The real point should be, how _clearly_ can you see at that distance?
what kind of view will i get if im viewing saturn at night through a 76mm reflector telescope?
I couldn’t see much..in-fact nothing at all but just a dim glow at saturn and im 100% sure i was viewing at the right place..please advice me on that…and also do i need to change my Telescope to view at both day and night time?..cheers
I Have a 130mm reflector and all I see is a small (maybe 1/10th or less of my eye peice view) whitish disk with small protrusions each side (the rings). When Saturn was in a better position I could just make out the gap between the rings and the planet. I think @ 76mm you’d just see a slightly bigger than normal white dot.
What can you see with a 900×114mm reflector telescope?
If you have to-scale pictures, that would be AMAZING! Thanks!
If it’s the Trashco brand, you’ll be sorry. Wobbly, poorly constructed, junk optics…
Other brands make a sturdier beginner scope in this size – in Telescopes you get what you pay for. I like eBay or CloudyNights for nice used scopes and accessories!
