I bought a telescope yesterday not knowing what it is coz there is no name on it. It seemed in good condition but the eyepiece and lazer is missing. I do know that it's a reflector. The width is abouy 145mm and length is 400mm. How do I calculate the correct eyepiece to buy please. You seem like a pro, and very sweet so I'm hoping you could help.😊
you can use different eyepieces with each telescope so it's not as strict. I would start with a 20mm one as a starting point that will work with pretty much everything. Then for planets you can buy something shorter later but this is likely a safe choice. Also make sure that you get the right size of eyepice. they ususally come in sizes of 1.25" or 2" (though there are some scopes with even smaller eyepiece holders) you should measure that (whether the place to put the eyepiece holder in is approx 31mm or 48mm or a different size)
She is her own observatory. And that is only a selection of the telescopes that she has in her collection. That might be all of the good astrophotography cameras she has, I’m not sure. She might have others that she is not using here.
I can’t imagine how much work it takes to set up all this stuff and get it going, but then she’s got years of experience, and I’m sure that this is not too excessively hard for her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done it.

Crisp craters 🤌
This is amazing! Love it! Enjoy!
What do you use to align the two scopes on one mount. I've been thinking about setting up something like that myself. Thanks!
I explained the device in detail in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfgYl0g9SoY
Very nice...please, what Camera do you use for this wonderful live-picture ? Thank you, all your Videos are very nice! Greetings, Erich
thank you so much! this was my ASI6200MM (I had originally set up for deep sky that night)
Wow ❤😍👌🫰 please gift me one rig 😁
Are you running a separate computer for each camera?

dear me, I struggle enough with 1 C8 on an AVX mount, I don't know how you keep track of all that.
I stress a lot :D
Beauty, brains, budget, and great locations.... she appears to be truly blessed!
Exceptional seeing conditions! Thanks for sharing the moon “photo” — I was as amazed as you to witness it.
Did you check out Jupiter too?
No I didn’t. I knew then I would wanna bring out the C14 and I just didn’t have it in me 😅
@the_space_koalaseeing like that is a planetary imagers dream!
Amazing seeing... Looks incredible
"Absolutely no good reason at all" sounds like a good enough reason to me.
Great video! I see the clarity and calm atmosphere even from a laptop screen Thank you! 👍
Wow, you could run an observatory with all of those setups in operation.

Yep, it's her observatory.
Very cool! You sound content. Have fun!!
I love it.
