Ask me anything about Astronomy

As an aspiring astrophysicist, I know a thing or two about space. I also know that space is super cool and almost everyone I've ever talked to wants to learn more about it. This is a technique of studying I do with friends and family, as by teaching something that I know, if better cements that concept into my brain. Fair warning: I don't know everything, and I will let you know if what you're asking is out of my grasp. But I'm pretty good, so fire away.

  • Hi. This is a telescope question. I have been into astronomy and stargazing for about 5 years now and at this stage I have pretty much chosen the career for my future. I currently own a Celestron 114LCM telescope. Its a 4.5 inch reflector with a focal ratio of f/9 making it near suitable for planetary viewing (f/10) It can clearly see the bands of Jupiter the Cassini division of Saturn and the blue-green hues of Uranus and Neptune. I also have a €399 Neximage Burst for it too. Overall its a great telescope and I love it. But as it gets older I would want to think of getting a new one. What should I buy next? A Nexstar 5SE or a 6SE or make a bold move for the 8SE?
