time for an upgrade - already!
hi all,
well the aperture fever has set in. it's time for an upgrade from my 70mm refractor - already!
I'm looking at an 8" dobs. probably a GSO or OzScopes one.
Will this give me better views by a considerable amount? Will I be able to see colors in Nebulae? More precisely, my favourite nebula, M42 (Great Nebula in Orion).
What are the planetary views going to be like? I will have a TV delos 6mm, GSO 20mm & 32mm. At current through a 10mm EP, I can see Saturn quite easily, but it is very small, although I can make out the gap between Saturn and it's rings on a still night. What will the dobs be like compared too this?
I can also see Jupiter, but i can't make out any detail. I can see Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto, faintly. What will it be like through the dobs?
Jeremy
