Thnks Roger, Rob ad Waverton, quick responses are great!
I'll try viewing again tonight with it just outside for a bit. Although i did that yesterday and the same thing happened.
As for the eyepiece, i used a standard 30 mm plossyl that came with the scope. I have a 10mm but its harder to see through so i haven't quiet put it in action yet. I'll try brighter stars and jupiter tonight to see if i can get anything. Unfortunately my computer is down so i can't think
Roger,
As for missing things, even if i did miss a smaller star wouldn't the telescope expose all the stars in that area that im looking at anyway and something would come up? My telescope just shows nothing but a dark, navy blue. From my understanding there are stars everywhere in the sky we just can't see them because they are being overpowered by other light or our eyes aren't powerful enough to see the light they emit. Which is why we have telescopes and the more powerful your telescope the more it can bring out, I know my telescope isn't the most powerful but i figured it was enough to illuminate the stars i'm talking about. Unless of course, there are parts of the sky that when pointed at with a 6 inch mak you don't get any picture because all the stars are too far away. I'm not sure what the FOV for the plossy i have is. Can't be that small though, if what i'm saying above is correct.
Please, if i have the wrong understand correct me. I always welcome it.
I haven't ever seen the night sky through another telescope so i don't know what kind of powered telescope you need to expose most stars.
P.S THANKS for your help again.
