What magnitude can I see with 76mm reflector?
Hi there, a noob question - I have a 76mm Tasco reflector with a 2x Barlow, and 6mm and 20mm eyepieces. People mention an object for viewing being magnitude 9, for example. I understand the meaning of magnitudes regarding stars etc, but I was wanting to know what I could use my particular scope to see, regarding deep sky objects, so that if someone or a catalogue mentions that such and such a star or nebula is x magnitude, then will I be able to see it using my scope? What is my telescope's useful magnitude viewing limit?
Cheers, Graham
