Thanks Ron. I had seen that page before and lost it so I have it safely added it to my favourites now.
What I reallty want to know now, is... does the Flame Neb being so faint (when others, like like the Orion and the Tarantula, were so amazingly clear) mean that perhaps my scope is not big enough to caputer it no matter what filter or EP I use? Or is my postion (sky darkness etc) not enough with my scope to make it possible to capture the Flame, let alone the horsehead. Last night I think was about as good as I'll get. OR... is that fact that it was visible at all a good sign that with the right eyepeices and filters I might see them?
I have another problem translating the info as well,... I don't know what the focal lenghth of my scope is. I can't find it anywhere in the book I got with it. Is there a way of calculating it?
Thanks
Michelle
