I have mag.3.5 skies i just did a rudementary collimation(250 x) and i could see e- f stars!! Mostly directly at 125 x? I turned astromy diagram upside down and put mirror along its side..looks about right? Is it wishful thinking .

Also sounds like (besides another good c6) that your seeing was good. Poor seeing can erase these stars unmercifully. Glad you made that catch!!!

Very doable in a 4" refractor, so should be a piece of cake in the C6 in pretty decent seeing. Good job. - Jim Post Extras:       Pages: 1
