I had a look at that telescope size comparison website. Thanks Suzy, it's great. The planets would look mostly like very small objects. I guess I was expecting them to be a bit larger. Perhaps attaching a Barlow lens will make it a bit bigger.
As that website only shows examples of how planets would look, can someone please tell me what they can see when you point an 8" reflector at a galaxy or some other cool object out there? How big is what you see? Is it just a large dot too or can you make out patterns in the galaxy? Also, is it possible to see any detail on the planets and any planet moons?
