What to expect from a C11?
I'm not much of a visual observer and rarely peeked through my scopes, only imaging. I had a look through some of my mate's dobs though. I'm in the process of aligning the optics of my C11. I did a couple of star tests then the other night, I think it was Saturday or Sunday night, can't remember, I had a look at the moon with a 2x Barlow and a 6mm eye piece then a quick peek at jupiter. The moon was sharp enough but wobbly from the seeing. On Jupiter I could see 4 moons in line and one dark spot on the surface that I assume must have been one of the moons shadows. The colors were quite washed out, not much contrast althhough I could clearly make out the bands and a bit of twirl on the edges of one of them.
My question: does this sound like the level of details I got is ok and it's as good as it gets or should I expect much more at this FL and further tweaking is needed. Thanks for any feedback.
