Hi,

I have just bought myself a meade LT6. I am waiting for the shop I bought it from to get a 7 pack of eye pieces in for me and only have a 26mm and a 9.7mm at present.

My question is.... Should I be able to see say Venus with this scope and the 9.7mm eye piece (154 ish X magnification) ? I went out into the sticks last night and I could see Venus and had it lined up but to be honest it was just a blob of light. For the $1800 I have just spent im hoping I can see more than just the moon.

I intend on joing a club but would like to get a grasp on things myself before I do.

Cheers,

Gareth
