summary by ChatGPT:
- The speaker discusses robotic telescopes without eyepieces.
- They mention two levels of these telescopes: one by Celestron and another by iOptron Telescopes, priced differently.
- These telescopes are app-controlled and use CCD digital cameras.
- Optics differences are noted, with newer models having higher quality.
- The speaker envisions installing one on their garage roof, finding the $700 version interesting but questioning the practicality of the higher-priced models.
So I dictated thee below using my galaxies on the headphones. Musically in the background, very loud. Next up, I will take this and stuff it with a jet. She can see and ask for a summary below the major appointment.
OK, this is intested using my voice input indeed directly into a blog posting about robotic telescopes. So about a year ago I started seeing telescopes that seemed to be like they have no eyepiece on them at the bottom end of the telescope. So they have 6 or 7 inch, 5 or 6 inch lens with a focal length of maybe two hundred and fifty millimeters Look at me, mixing my units here. So 50 to sixty millimeters. Two hundred fifty millimeters focal length focal length or down. So an F5. I think F10 or. down to the F2 .5. Now there’s two distinct levels of this. There’s Celestron has one. It’s four grand. So it’s no 6 grand the Canadian much time to get the door. There’s another company. If I go on Terry telescopes that has the another brand and it’s in the Florida $7000. and $8000. So very expensive telescopes and then suddenly there’s this to what I’ve been seeing in a couple of different parameters. I mean is ZW Sears on my job. It’ll be done in the picture as well that. are substantial. It’s mainly like 695. I think it says so say some $100. down to a 10th. But obviously you know these are thinking what are these? These are app control. So you have an app on your phone in your tablet and I’m hoping on the PC but we’re gonna look this is the the CD power CCD era to the gap digital camera at the bottom of the telescope. I’m not sure which version to look up the Reds because we reaching the number of pixels in the hot shed. So that’s a probably he’s in optics in front of it. Well that’s maybe the difference there’s a slower and one has you know half recent optics but the newer one the higher end times are. playing a call the optics get selected on this very well respected I mean anyhow now I envision having something like this that you have a habit or a house here for you guys very weird only have on the garage roof would be. the turtles get stick up and I don’t know if it needs to deal with turn but otherwise the big the big hope you pull back a lid cover the the roof and then you’ve got AA spell foot written. I look it up. I mean if you see in the warm recovery your home to part of the PC in front of your tablet between your astronomer. also is another thing a little bit is like the the app. So the software is able to take. time like time lapses at it very, very finely because it is a very high route and can adjust the images I maybe even to do like quick seating much as you can be pretty amazing. But then are the real power. because stuff is done that you know real tough stuff. So why does it invalidate the smoke? anyhow interesting at 700 bucks to maybe not keep further about 7000 bucks not so much.
