What will I see with an 8' Dob
Hey guys,
New to the forum so firstly hello all ! Now that formalities are out of the way I am in need of some help. I'm wanting to buy (kind of an upgrade from a 5" Newtonian) a collapsable Dobsonian.
I'm thinking the 8" Saxon one from Ozscopes. I'm just wondering what in fact I'll be able to see with it, and in what detail, I've had a look on youtube ad some people who've taken images with there iPhone/webcam up against the eye piece but I'm of the mind that this wouldn't do it justice. I'm hoping that you can see Saturns rings with half decent detail and a nebulae or 2 would be awesome !
Anyway thanks in advance for your help,
Shulgin
Oh also I thought I should say that I'm after the collapsible because 1) I live in the suburbs of Melbourne so most of my viewing will be done after an hours car drive and 2) I dont want to spend over $600.
