craigb1970 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Finally I got my starsense unit working and managed to goto and view M31,M15 and Albireo but I couldn't find M2. Is this a particularly small cluster? I was using 25mm eyepiece which provides 80x with my 8SE. I thought the goto may have gone off but when went back to previously viewed objects the goto was bang on. I'd appreciate any suggestions of where I may be going wrong.

TiTanecd Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 M2 is smaller than M15, I'd guess around 3x smaller in the eye piece. Use http://www.12dstring.me.uk/fovcalc.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
