I'm almost always been able to tease out E & F even in reasonable conditions using a
10mm XW @ 120x. In pristine conditions using 350x (3.5mm XW) they fade away. So
120x seems to work best for me. Also I guess knowing where to look helps, thanks to
Astro_South.

With components H & G sitting @ 16+ I'll need a scope upgrade or a bionic eyeball.

Has anyone using say a 16" dob been able to tease out H & G? what about you astron?
