    Some would say that its not possible.. but I'm sure someone will find a way to go that deep and detailed....

     

    Like I tell the folks that ask about the landing equipment when looking through my scope,  Hubble space telescope, 96" mirror, what 100 or so miles up there and it can not resolve them with no atmosphere to

    go through, It is  going to take a mighty big telescope on the ground to resolve them, maybe in 50 years but hey I wont be around to see it lol.

    Hi Steven, 

    Welcome to the lounge, love the story about M42, exactly what hooked me in, found it by accident, did not know what I was doing and just free roaming with my 4.5" eq mount, it was the trapezium that puzzled me at the time, if I remember right I described it as a nest of eggs then everyone told me what it was, a totally awesome site, looked even better in the 10" once I got it done, a treasure for sure, I can't wait to see it in the 20".
