alxxx Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 well i finally got to use the 8" rev tonight, great scope but i just cant get on with the dob mount , not my scene at all, I hopfully should be getting some tube rings tomorrow so i can put it on my CG-4 mount, but anyway I started off with Jupiter ,i could see quite a bit of detail in the belts (bit like this :jupiter:), then on to M13 , it filled my 10mm eyepiece and with averted vision i'm sure i could see stars right into the core, then i found one of the comet fragments (B i think), next was M57, it looks so much bigger with this scope than it did with my 6", also i could see detail in the ring, then i found the double double star in lyra and i must say i found it very easy to split. this little lot to me about a hour and a half cos i spent ages looking at each object So i think the scope is great but not the mount (but thats just me)AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
