The clouds slightly parted last night and had a short look at the moon.
Using barlow and the 20mm, The moon was crystal clear very detailed and in perfect focus.
(But not as large/close as I expected) which means I need to go bigger!Or would a better bigger than 20mm help?
I already now have scope-envy, searching for either a 6 to 8 inch Dobsonian.
I gave my 81 yr old mum a peak and she said "The moon is upside down and reversed"
She was right! I was just glad it seemed to be clear and not out of alignment and hadn't noticed until a second look.
Do all Dobsonian scopes suffer that?
Neptune was also above the horizon but clouds obscured it, as well as Andromeda.
Would have been a test to have a look with this scope, maybe tonight will be less clouds.
( I know its a toy scope) but impressed with its clarity of the moon albeit reversed.
