Will definitely give 8 burst another go. 47 Tuc didn't look that spectacular as it usually does, on that night. So conditions might have been too bright.
I saw sombrero again last night for the first time in the 8 inch. Could see it was a galaxy at 10mm but the sky around it was quite light for some reason so wasn't much contrast and must have kept me from really seeing the bulge of that galaxy. Are there any tricks for bringing out galaxies like this? Shuold I go up in Mag so that it dims the background sky?
I did however go to Omega Centauri after this and WOWSERS! I think I prefer this to 47 Tuc!. It was out of this world! I had it in full view in the 15mm. Wouldn't wanna go any shorter in eyepiece for that glob. Also split Alpha Centauri while I was there.
Saturn looks so much better in the 8 inch as well. see the division in the outer rings. Really tempted to up the mag on this one.
