I have a method for finding DSO's fairly quickly!

I start with my 2" GS 30mm SuperView Galaxy Magnet. 90% of the time I can spot objects (small but obvious). Once centred in the FOV I switch over to my 15mm. After having a look at the object for a while I then switch to my 9mm for a much closer look.

Supa, Don't expect to find faint fuzzies starting at 9mm in a dobbie. Start at a reasonable size EP and work your way down to the higher mags.

Please ignore this info is you have massive light pollution and buy a GoTo!! Lol
