Aluminum Tripod Laser
Did I buy a good telescope? What does it mean that it’s “p.c. compatible”?
I bought it online today and won’t get it for 4-5 business days. I’ve never owned one before.
It’s a Meade 4.5 Telestar DS 2000 reflector w/autostar.
Comes with 3 eyepieces. 25mm, 9mm & a Barlow 3X magnification lens, aluminum tripod, utility tray holder, laser sight aligning viewfinder.
1000mm focal length and 114mm diameter tube.
Will I be able to see Galaxies and stuff?
Yeah… I gathered that much Cory. I meant how is it compatible? What can my p.c. do with it?
+I don’t know how much you paid for it, but I believe that is the older model. The newer ones are DS 2100′s. I have one here at home. The mirror is not really large enough to see galaxies (except perhaps the Andromeda Galaxy which will appear as a gray smudge in the scope). You should be able to see planets like Jupiter (which rises in the east about 11:30 here on the east coast). Mars and Venus rise a bit later on (around 4 or 5:00 AM). You’ll also be able to view some nebulae and maybe a few of the larger and closer globular clusters like the Hercules Cluster. That size scope was not really intended for Deep Sky Object viewing. It is more of a starter scope to learn the night sky.
The biggest problem with that telescope is that it has a tendency to be unstable on the tripod and you’ll notice shaking as you look through the eyepiece. PC compatible means that you can operate the telescope from your PC or laptop. I don’t know about the 2000′s, but the 2100-series that I have came with a CCD camera and software so I can take pictures of whatever I see through the scope right to the laptop.
