I have a Starfinder 10" Newtonian on a Dob mount. Is it possible that without tracking I will be able to have better luck with the moon or should I put away the LPI until I have a tracking scope. As I said in previous post the Mirror does have coating loss which I will get recoated when I can afford it. I bought the Scope second hand for only $56 so I am not complaining so am getting value for money even with the damage.
