Hi Kris, welcome to SGL.  If you are in south Essex you may want to try coming to Castle Point Astronomy Club when the regulations allow that.  You don’t have to be expert or none of us would turn up...

There are other astronomy clubs in Essex but we’re the BEST by a BIG margin 😁

Ed.

 

Hi Ed, thank you so much for the invitation. I would love to come along when possible 👍

Yes I was referring to photography

Through a scope, you will not see things in color either, as the human eye cannot detect color due to the rods cells in our eyes not been able to process low light

These cells are open to seeing small amounts of photons at the expense of seeing detail or color

Camera on the other hand, especially images using time exposure and stacked, show the vibrant colors of nebula's, galaxies and planets

Hope I have explained it enough, as others will have a better explanation what trying to say

Thanks John, I appreciate it.

Welcome Kris, I found this quite useful when I first started its quite an old thread but gives a good idea of what can be seen with a scope of particular size etc 

Clear Skys!
