Since I was a child, I have attracted by the night sky observation. Moon, planets, stars, comets and nebulas are amazing objects. Sometimes (especially on summer) I like to spend some time observing the sky using my small telescope, a Celestron Astromaster 130 eq. shown in the photo below:
It is a newtonian telescope (reflecting) with a diameter of 130 mm, focal length of 650 mm and a focal ratio of f/5. The telescope offers good images both for the planetary observation and for the “deep space”. The equatorial mount CG-3 is a bit complicated to use but provides good results with a little practice and patience. The following photo shows my eyepieces:
In addition to a Barlow len (Celestron Ultima x2 series) and some filters, the most precious eyepiece is the Meade UWA (Ultra Wide Angle) series 4000 of 4.7 mm, featuring a 82 degree Apparent Field of View. Currently, I am looking for a new smaller and more manageable telescope, without losing too much in magnifying power. Updates will come in the future!
