Hello everyone, my first post here.
Firstly, since i got my dob five years ago, i have been unable to see a single galaxy from my location. I once thought i saw a caught a whiff of the sombrero, if i jiggled the scope and used extreme averted vision, but that's it, so i soon turned to planatary observation.
Last night in melb seeing excellent ~midnight, used my 8" f/5 dob at 300*- (10mm + 3X barlow), pretty much the max mag for my skywatcher dob.
Whilst drawing Jupiter, I noticed uneven shadings on Jovian moons, which were barely disk size. So, I wanna magnify the moons to map the details.
I mapped mars in 2003, and now I wanna map each moon. So I think I require at least *1500 power in some big-momma setup.
I want view to make me look do this:
, but if it's expensive i won't bother.
what do people use?
