Pointed my Lt8 at 50x at Eta just a couple of hours ago.
I must say, it look nothing remotely like the photo shown at the Home page!
Could not detect any nebulosity or traces of gas clouds and all I am seeing is just a star field.
I though, perhaps, the LT8 was pointing incorrectly, so I instructed it to point at the Jewel Box and it placed it dead center.I did the same thing with Acrux and the scope again, place it in the center.
So, why is the view of Eta so different, as I must be doing something wrong?
Magnification too high or perhaps, I am not using any filter?
Frustration, frustration........
Can some learned friends comment?
