A Telescope Question ..help?

Question

my couzin emailed this .. any help would be apreciated !

I do have a Bluesky 6.5inch telescope.but every time I look at the star with it,all I see are odd stars and irrating satellites intercepting by views of the nightsky!When I see them(with my telescope),they all blinks green,red,orange,brown and white.Is there something wrong with my $210 telescope I bought?

Answer 1

i agree with euegen,

may be there is some thing wrong with optics

Answer 2

There is most likely nothing wrong with your telescope. Stars don't look particularly interesting in telescopes. They all more or less look like points of light. When viewed using high powered eyepieces, you will often see them "boiling" due to atmospheric disturbances.

Try looking at something other than a star, and using a low powered eyepiece.

Answer 3

try pointing the scope at the moon, Jupiter or Saturn. All stars will blink and flicker.You may find out that planets will interest you more than stars. Or if stars is your thing, point your scope at galaxies.

Answer 4

Your cousins note makes no sense. Have him/her point it at the sky and not Christmas lights. Clearly, with blinking lights of those colors, it's not aimed at the sky.

Answer 5

You may be in a high-traffic UFO area.

Answer 6

for 200.00 that is not a telescope its a toy

Answer 7

i guess so! i would take it back to get a new one!
