Not my shot but maybe one day

It makes sense to look through a telescope via a camera Izzie. They are more sensitive to light than our eyes so for any size of telescope tend to show more. They see more slowly though so neglecting some problems the longer they look the more they see.

John, I was tempted to get a telescope last solar eclipse because of our bank's rewards point and I told my husband that no matter how much and how hard I stomp my feet, not to get me one. Having a telescope will be another learning curve and more accessories. I just want to live for now...and enjoy it. Maybe I should just take up learning how to drink wine. I read the other day that people who drinks lives longer and healthier than those who doesn't. What a lot of crap! But then, no one can say I only eat breakfast..., ya know...a meal without wine is 'breakfast'.

Using an ordinary telescope on the sun is a good way of going blind very quickly. Probably set fire to a sensor in a camera too. They can be used to project an image onto a sheet of paper etc but if that's not forming a decent sized image it may burn a hole in the paper.

If people want to look it needs something like these - no use for anything else as far as I'm aware.
