Hi all at SGL.
I managed to take my 12"skywatcher dob out for first time tonight such a clear night but a bit of dew.
I managed to find m31 and m81 m82 a ball of light and a grey cloud around it.i was using skywatcher 28mm wide field it worked great. But when I tried using other eyepieces I could not focus just white with the spider vanes I tried 25mm 10mm 9mm seemed like the focus would not zoom in anymore. When I tried a 5mm I couldn't even see any stars. I even tried them on Jupiter and Saturn with no luck but with the 28mm Jupiter and 5 moons was nice. I know the eyepieces aren't top quality but any help why I couldn't focus would help thanks
