And some surface/atmo features of jupiter too.
With my 8" I can make out some of the brown equatorial lines.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you or not. But dobs being open as they are, can collect dust easier than other scopes.
Not only do I have the elastic protector over the top half when not in use, but I've gone and placed another shower cap over the bottom of the tube at all times. 
Have fun with your scope. |
Thanx for the info advice anfo....am loving the scope, had it not been for work last night I would have sat out there all night. I thought I'd chuck on the moon filter last night viewing jupiter as it was so blinkin' bright, it seem to have worked and I got to make out some faint brown lines
. I had an
ing night last night and that was in our suburban backyard, imagine when we head out to the country, can't wait for Christmas holidays
all night with the family, kids will love it.
