10" dob V C8
Orion came up as a blob in the Dob, whereas the C8 showed a huge veil structure right across the fov. I have had problems collimating the 10" beast, as every time it gets moved it has to be done again. But give me the Go To anyday, sure beats getting down trying to peer through the finder scope.
The problem with the lens could have been dew as suggested, last night I used the old hair drier to good effect. That's 2 good nights now with C8, and I am seeing galaxies all over now. These computers are just magic. So now it's time to get some better eyepieces to see more detail .
Thanks for your comments...Evan
