Hi All
I recently bought a 10" dobsonian skywatcher and have only been lucky enough to catch a few clear skies in the last two weeks. I'm a total noob and am having trouble working out what I should be seeing through the scope. The scope comes with a 25mm and 10mm ep.
When I look through the scope at bright objects it seems like I'm looking through a microscope more than at stars. I've attached a couple of pics I managed to get through my phone. Am I doing something wrong here, or am I potentially expecting too much?
I'm also still working my way around the sky, so don't quote me but I think the pics are of Sirius.. lol it was one of the brighter stars near Orion.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers
