It's a good elbow pic.
It's an even better mugshot. -

Originally posted by CandyRein There’s an app ?! And I know the perfect spot .. and I’m excited to see it all .. when I get one I’ll post it
There are quite a few. I have an Android phone so I use Star Tracker. On ios there are Sky View Lite, Star Walk 3, Star Chart, probably a bunch more.
Looking forward to your pics! -
2021-07-31 at 9:52 PM UTC in How are you feeling at the moment..If you go to a nice dark spot, you can see nebulae pretty well. You can actually see the glowing dust clouds in Orion for example

Hope you get one!
You also probably want to get an app that can spot night objects for you to zoom in on.
The telescope I linked is a small and portable one but I would really recommend you spend a bit more and get a 5 inch telescope like the Z130 or AWB OneSky anyway.
That's basically at the point where as an average stargazer you will never need an upgrade other than new eyepieces.
Whereas smaller telescopes are alright but you might end up wanting a better one anyway.
For example with a planetary eyepiece, on a smaller telescope you will likely have to use 6mm, which is fine, but if you use 4mm for a closer look then the objects will look somewhat dim. On a 5inch or bigger telescope, 4mm will look great still. But 5 inch is good enough for most viewing. -

Originally posted by CandyRein I had one before few yrs ago but couldn’t get the trajectory right to see anything I wanted … imma get another one soon
Get one with a "red dot" aiming attachment, I have a Zhumell Z130 but they have smaller ones available with the dot like this:

You also want a 6mm planetary eyepiece if you wanna see Jupiter's streaks or really see Saturn's rings -

I was thinking the other day that being an astronomer should be like the easiest job IN THE UNIVERSE because basically you just have to memorize all the stuff we know about the other planets and our sun and then maybe a few more things about the other galaxies and stars and then once you memorize that you don't have to learn anything new you just sit in front of a telescope for 24 hours a day looking around for things. EASIEST JOB EVER.
One day after alllll the stars are burned out there'll be a super giant power black hole that gets orbited by zillions of other less powerful black holes and it will change the course of history.

Hey you should look into getting a telescope, it's amazing for if you can go somewhere away from the city at night. They are also fairly easy to use once you do it for like 5 minutes. I have a feeling you'd really be mindblown by seeing nebulae or 4 of the moons of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn with your own eyes.
