Quote from a review ""
Jupiter : Jupiter was simply stunning when I viewed it through the ETX.† Jupiter's two main equatorial belts could be easily seen as well as it's 4 Galilean moons.† Since I already had the 10mm with the Barlow in the focuser, I redirected the scope towards the southeastern sky.† It just broke the edge of my roof so I could take a look.† Wow! (Recurring theme, right?)† Not only could I make out the 2 equatorial belts, but also I could make out several other cloud belts to the north and south of the 2 main belts. I also observed what I think were 5 satellites orbiting Jupiter, but I'm not sure.† Very impressive!

I do not own nor do I have nearly enough experience with these types of scopes to talk about them. As an amateur I will only cover topics that I am familar with and feel comfortable talking about in a matter that will not lead you down the wrong path.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is inorganic, colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable, and nearly inert. It is safe enough to use in medical proceedures. SF6 is only 22,800 times more potent a greenhouse gas than C02 (not 67 million as suggested). Its greenhouse potential is not problematic because: according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, due to its high density vs air, SF6 flows to the bottom of the atmosphere which limits its ability to heat the atmosphere.
This is exactly how I can see Jupitor with my XT8. I can also make out the cloud bands on jupitor through my xt8.
youll get a better image with a 10 inch, but theres not too big of a difference
i prefer the hubble
Even through an open window heat currents will spoil your sky viewing.
It's perfectly OK to buy used telescope equipment if you know what you are buying. Look up Orion XT 8 on Google and see what comes standard with the telescope. Also try to locate a local Astronomy club and have the members help you with your telescope purchase.
Can you see any detailed stars with that? I was actually planning on getting a XT8.
AFP – For astronomers, it appears that not only does size really matter but so does an eye-opening location.
maybe buy better microphone mr. & mrs. rojas…
Scied no skool 2moro.!!
This mouse is good, i have it, it has good tracking, good stability, sometimes i accidentally hit the DPI switch, but other than that, its a good mouse overall, good precision, the best thing to do is keep the DPI on low, which means no colors, like on 400 DPI, lower the DPI in FPS games, the better the aiming and accuracy and make sure you keep your windows mouse speed in the middle and no enhanced acceleration on

i'm not sure what your question is.
dosn't it explain the radish thing down the bottom in conclusion part 2?

My xt10 is awesome. It took me about two years to spot all the Messier objects.
You only need to learn all 88 constellations if you live on the equator. I don't need to learn Centaurus because it never comes above my southern horizon. I wouldn't even know it existed if it weren't for something interesting there – the closest star to us other than the Sun.
The Red spot is actually white just now. Sky & Telescope has a predictor page on their web site for when to look. I just saw it in my xt10 recently for the first time. It was a particularly steady night. To be honest, i don't study Jupiter that often. But i was observing with someone who does, and pointed it out. It wasn't at all what i might have looked for. She didn't set up her 14.5" – it takes too long. But it's only 2 or 3 minutes for the xt10. Another reason the xt10 is a great scope. Jupiter rotates once around in 10 hours. The Red spot is centered for maybe an hour or two at a time.
I've also seen Pluto in my xt10. You need a great finder chart. And then, since it's just a dot, you really need to draw what you see, and check again another night, to see it move.
Check out a local club. Observe with others with some experience. Everyone has something to teach you.
love it…
quanto custa um equipamento desses? Gostei demais! Vi outros videos do Orion XT8 e gostei. Quem sabe um dia posso ter um brinquedo desses para admirar o Universo q tanto gosto
its amazingly bright at the moment… cheers for this..
Specs say 60Db- medium stereo. This rig is LOUD.
windex will work fine, but on the car windows you should use a spray that is made for car windows otherwise it will just smear, come out streaky and wont dissolve the debree that is on your windows

more powerfull than a fresnell lense?,….cool!
There is no built in function that will enable you to dynamically update the formatting of the mirror sheet. You could use VBA to do this, but it's probably much more complicated than you'd want to go.
You can paste the formatting onto the other sheet, using paste special. Copy the range, go to the new location, right-click choose "paste special" and "formats".
Also, you can quickly and easily create a copy of an entire sheet (formatting and all) by right clicking on the sheet tab.
