Test your scope

Would you like to test your scopes ultimate performance ?

The trap in Orion is well placed for this at the moment , a good 6/8" inch can show the E & F stars , lets push a bit deeper ' can you see the G star , it's inside the tapezium at magnitude 13.68 .

Now for those who have monster scopes , the H star is 15.3 & the I star 16.3

Scroll for reference here : https://www.skyandtelescope.com/obse...ons-trapezium/

Good Luck
Bobby
