Newbie need some advice on reflector telescope
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2017 11:02 pm
Hi, I'm a newbie who just bought a reflector telescope, but din see any review of the telescope.
It's a 114mm x 900mm tasco galaxsee reflector 46-114500 with EQ mount.
By the specs given, it's almost near compare to celestron astromaster 114EQ.
My question is,
1) based on the aperture diameter and focal length given, I presume both scope observation power almost the same? The only restriction are from the eyepiece?
2) tasco eyepiece barrel diameter is 1.25". So izit interchangeable with other brand's EP for a better view?
3) my main purpose of buying this scope is to view nearby planets and also furthur stuff like the nebulae etc. My question is can this telescope do the job?
"Using a stock EP in a telescope is like racing a sport car with a stock engine." I saw this phrase somewhere else and that made me thinking of changing to eyepiece would improve the scope.
Hope you guys can help me out.
