    ^dude,

     

    why dont you try ebay or contacting distributors from HK?

     

    anyway, mine is a 60mm scope with 700mm focal lenght (department store scope naman ang saakin, arang "

    toy" din halos)

     

    or why dont you try buying a 50mm binoc?

    What constitutes a "toy" or "department store" scope?

     

    The answer is... anything that has an aperture of below 3 inches and advertises power (like 600X!!). [disclaimer: its better to have a higher aperture; also dont take my owrd for it]

     

    Here is the thing John Nassr, who has an obervatory in Baguio, ask me a couple of questions before giving me his top pick for a first timer scope.

     

    The questions focused more on: 1) degree of interest in astronomy, 2) am i interested in astro-photography, 3) do i require portability, 4) my budget. after answering the questions he told me to get Celestron 8" SCT (which is about $1000 brand new)

     

    So the question do you want to pursue this hobby so much that you are willing to import a $1000 scope?

     

    Also, if your budget falls around the $200 range sky and telescope suggest that you buy a decent binocs instead and start from there. The magazine rationalizes their choice by saying "you could see nebulae, galaxies, and moon craters with a decent binocs."

     

    Stargazing is more than having a scope. Its all about learning and enjoying it.

    wow. do you mean yung mga scopes sa toys are us panget? im planning to buy pa naman the 7k plus. o ok na yun for beginers? san ba meron dito ng scopes? dun lang ako nakakita sa mga toys stores eh. its a kit na with stands and all. forgot the name pero next time tignan ko rin specs para tanong ko sayo kung ok na yun. ty! sobrang interested ako.

     

    dude,

     

    kung meade naman yung binebenta sa TOYS R US eh ok na siguro yun. wala namang meade na toy eh hehehe

     

    anyway, i suggest you ask other members about this or browse other forums before buying your first scope. the first scope could make or break your interest in astronomy kasi.

     

    Also, be aware na pwede kang gumawa ng sarili mong telesscope. :)

     

    PS:

     

    Ano specs ng tinitingnan mong telescope? (use the format below)

     

    SPEC FORMAT:

     

    1) Aperture (Determines light gathering power of the scope) -->the bigger the better. This is the main consideration if you want to look at nebulas or other deep space objects.

     

    2) Power (Magnification power) --> If you want to observe planets you should put more consideration to this item.

     

    3) Brand

     

    4) Price

     

    5) Availability of after market service

    SIMULAN KO NA

     

    I have a Meade Polaris 60AZ-M (padala saakin mula 'tate). Unfortunately, sira ang diagonal mirror ko and I am trying to look for the part.

     

    Meron ba ditong nakakaalam kung saan pwede bumili ng parts ng meade dito sa pinas?

     

    Anyway, super saya ang mag star gaze, kahit tumingala ka lang sa langit eh ok na, if you really just wanna SEE the wonders of our universe. Pero iba pa din yung may telescope ka kasi mas madami kang pwedeng gawin at makita na hindi kaya ng mga mata natin.

     

    Nakakita ka naba ng nebula with ther naked eye lang?

     

    para sa mga gustong magsimula kung may binoculars ka dun ka na muna mag simula unahin mo munang tinagnan yung mga pinaka malaki o pinakamaliwanag na tala o kahit ano mang bagay ang nakikita mo sa langit. pag sawa kana sa binocs mo at gusto mo nang tumingin ng iba pang mga bagay bagay eh dun kana bumilio ng astro scope (for begginers lang muna).

     

    TIPS in stargazing with the aid os scopes:

     

    1) gaze where there is little or no pollutiuon at all. Tagaytay o Silang for example

     

    2) adjust your eyes to the darkness for atleast 15 mins (if you wana observe deep space objects like nebulas)

     

    3) your scope should fit the purpose. meaning kuing pang planetary and scope mo, dapat planets/moons tingnan mo.

     

    TIPS in buying your first scope (FOR NEOPHYTES ONLY):

     

    1) BUY THE BRAND THAT CAN SERVICE YOUR NEEDS DURING AND AFTER THE SALE.

     

    2) Buy a trustworthy brand

     

    3) Buy a begginers scope, just to get the feel of it.

     

    4) DON'T BUY A TOY SCOPE. buy the ones used by neophyte astronomers.

     

    5) Buy the scope that best suites your interest. (more on this soon)

     

    o yan, mahaba na yan. till next time.

    One of my favorite motels.

     

    Its cozy, affordable, the rooms are big, the floating bed thingy is GREAT... you could do a dog sa egde ng bed ng hindi na off balance kasi maganda pwesto mo.

     

    sa dami ng motels na napuntahan ko... ito lang ang gusto ko mag branch out (aside from eurotel).

     

    sana nga lang e may bath tub sila.

    ^dude,

     

    comparable rate nito sa SOGO kaya pag madalas ka sa SOGO ok na dito sa PARADIS.

     

    the rooms are better and bigger than sogo kaya mas ok dito kesa dun. the thing is yung waiting area nila ay HINDI DISCREET! grrr....

     

    kitang kita kayo dun if ever na mag aantay kayo.

     

    recently may friend akong dumaan dun... sabi nya meron daw ISA PANG waiting area sa loob na mismo ng motel. mas discreet daw siya kesa sa SOGO. the prob is... i cant confirm his claim.

    yung akin kasi biglang nag-stop na lang mag-work kahit nde ko naman madalas gamit...

     

    deli,

     

    yan ba yung double tickler mo na nabili mo sa may pride exchange?

     

    yung saamin ng gf ko nasira na rin eh. medyo parang nasunog yung internal parts nya kasi maamoy mo yung electrical shorting nya.

     

    perhaps, a better brand or better quality toy nalang?

     

    around 400 lang naman din kasi yung nabili namin.
