What will you really see?
Without access to close by star parties I have no idea what to expect when I delve into the observational side of astronomy. What I am wondering is what should I expect to see (And how much detail do you expect to see) out of standard 10x50 Binos, say an 80 or 105 mm refractor and all the way upto a 10 or 12" Dob?
I intend to buy all 3 eventually and was just going to go with the Dob and Binos, but it has made me wonder how much detail I'll really get because DSOs are a big part of what I am interested in, but it seems that even with a 12" Dob, you won't see much but fuzzy images of things such as M31. I never expected to resolve to individual stars obviously but I did kind of expect a bit more visual detail.
Anyone able to advise what I really should expect to be able to see inside our solar system and galaxy as well as outside of our galaxy?
