Ah, 12 inches, that's why I can see the dinosaurs footprints. I hear an asteroid made them extinct?
With a 14" scope you'd probably see the skeletons too.
I play with nothing over 8 inches and I'm not trying to boast, I'm talking about telescopes. I did try to see the moon through my rc8 with the 5 times powermate, think I expected a bit much and couldn't achieve focus on a night of bad seeing.
With the RC8 I never remember whether it's adapters (spacers) on for visual or photography, two x 1" spacers and one 2" spacer but I keep forgetting what suits what.
Continual rain and cloud since I purchased it hasn't helped nor has the fact I haven't put my pier in yet (no observatory unfortunately on rental property). I do however have a big hole (600x600x600 (and a bit)) in the back yard full of water and I'm thinking of drilling holes in the bottom to drain it.
