Fuck telescopes :(

Okay, seriously, how the hell do I properly aim the damn thing at the moon? It's a pretty big target, but I can't see shit out of it. I can see light in the little eyepiece sometimes, but I can never get it centered on the moon or anything useful.

Helllllp

 

just gotta try more.. ahah. idk i havent done it in a while but im still good at it.

 

not to be a smartass, but try focusing all the way out to get a broad view. then center your target. Then, focus in.

Also, depending on the tele, you may not get the clear image you want if it's not powerful enough.

 

Yeah it's probably crappy, but imma go try a bit more.

 

Ok, well look line up with the horizon line.. like under the moon. and just keep tilting it up till it hits it.

 

LOL this is such a lost cause.

 

I don't think it can ever see the moon. I think it's way too weak. I can see lights down the street and stuff very well, but I did line up a light with the moon, focused on the light and tilted it up, and never even saw so much as the faintest glimmer of light?

 

well, if you can't see as far as the moon, at least you can spy on some neighbors!
that's always fun.

 

take it and bust the shit out of it.

you'll feel a hundred times better than looking at the moon.

then get a good one, and marvel at moons and suns and your neighbors boobies and whatever

 

Wow.



I think the universe is fascinating, and the thought of being able to actually see the surface of the moon with my own eyes makes me exited . And even other planets like Mars and Venus. and stars. I'd bet a I need a much nicer telescope for that though. I dun care, this one was free.

I'm beginning to understand how the telescope itself works. I have to go get ready for work. I guess I'll point it straight at the sun tomorrow, haha.

 

Just take the coverpiece off the end...

To be serious, does it have the little mini scope on the side or is it that cheapo?
If it does, aim that at it first, then find it in the main scope, then focus!

If you still can't get it to work just send it to me.

 

Shit yeah, that part is a great idea. I'm all for the latter.

 

Used to have one it was actually pretty cool i saw mars with it once up close

Moon was pretty good too

 

i'd like to watch someone fuck a telescope.... lol i could watch it happen from REALLY far away
bwa ha haha

 

Move it around, when the light gets brighter your closer, then everything gets dark and the moon is in the center. You can also try looking up the scope.

I have a damn nice and expensive telescope I got for Christmas, all I have to do is type in whatever I want to look at and it will follow it. It's a Meade.
When I don't do that, I have a green laser pointer where I can see the beam, I got it for 40 bucks, just press it against the scope and it shows where your pointing.

What telescope do you have?

 

Not to mention the laser is fun to annoy the shit out of people with. This weekend I inyerupted some meeting going on at a church at night. I didn't see anyone inside until they came out, I didn't mean to. Although most of the time when I do something like that I do.

 

My bf's roommate does that with binoculars and sometimes not to even to be funny.He was watching some girl from across the street get ready once and try on clothes.It was funny for maybe 5 seconds....

 

what lens do you have in it.. start with a wide angle lens work your way down to a more powerful one

remember shits backwards too

refractor or reflector..or is the eyepiece on the end or the side
..

 

creeper status right there! haha

 

Oh I know.He recently bought fake black rimmed classes so it kinda adds to it even more.
