About Astronomy

Currently, I have a 10" Orion Dobsonian telescope, a 6" Discovery DHQ Dobsonian telescope and Oberwerwerk 15x70 binoculars. Most of my eyepieces are plossls, great beginner eyepieces..  I also have an Orion Variable Polarizing filter, which is used to reduce the amount of light comming in to reveal more detail.

 

I have a Sky Atlas 2000.0 second edition, a great star chart for an amateur astronomer.  I also have a planisphere, a necessity for any amateur astronomer.  This came in the Astro Pack, which can be bought at most book stores.  It is a great resource for beginning astronomers.  For information on these two items, go to the page called "Star Charts".

Well, I managed to take a picture through my 'scope of the Moon, but due to shaky hands and a dobsonian mount, it's not that clear.
