I have an 8" dobsonian mounted reflector that I am using to see deep sky objects and more detail on planets etc. When I referred to "learning the constellations", I meant the ones that are not so obvious as to where the general boundaries are. I know the general location and I'm getting to know the brighter stars of most of the constellations that move through the ecliptic. I'm also trying to know and see things in the constellations that don't have bright stars. This takes time I know. But; as far as I can tell; I should be around a while longer. I prefer low stress when sailing the night sky and that's why I love the p-mount. The canon IS series have always intrigued me, are there others in this general category?
