Cubemaster Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I got the same scope and highly recommend the 12mm BST explorer. Knocks spots off the skywatcher 10mm Also got the 4mm TMB Planetary II which shows the rings beautifully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardy30 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 cool thanks also when looking at stars and planets do these appear as bright spots in your view or can you see specific details all i get is sharp bright stars except the moon which is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubemaster Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Lots of details on Jupiter and moons visible, rings and division on Saturn.. Venus will only ever show as a white disc (or crescent) and yet to see any detail on Mars though I think only larger aperture scope would help there..

Beardy30 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 so you think a 12mm would be a good buy with perhaps a replacement 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
