Can you see any star's disk with a telescope?
Well i'm not really a beginner but I was asked by my mum if there was any detail to be seen on stars...
Of course I gave the stock dogma that only planets have disks, and said u couldn't, but then i wondered... what if you could? I think Helvetius or whatever he was called did an experiment with this.
What if you get say a 1000x mag and tracked it onto a star during pristine conditions... what would u see? We know that the atmosphere can magnify the appearance of stars sometimes...
So.......... Any optical experts with an answer?
I wouldn't mind seeing sunspots of beatlegeuse!
