Ello people!
I stayed up until 1am last night (late to work this morning) so I could get a good look at orion. AND YES!!! Finally got to lay my eyes on m42 nebula. Probably the most beatiful sight I have seen on my scope. It had a almost non detectable greenish hue to it. Now I will have to invest in a nebula filter!!!!
However mars and venus are still a problem for me (I would imagine this would be the same for other planets as well)... at no time have I been able to see more than a bright disk with planets. What is an aperture mask? and where can I buy one? or do I have to make it myself?
