Hello, the faintest star I have glimpsed is around 15.5-16 in my 12", and about the same with my 16", has anyone gone any fainter, say magnitude 17.5 and downwards...thanks...clear skies...
In my 10 inch Newtonian, I have gone into the mid 15's. The scope has shown the central star in M57 and that one is around 15.1 to maybe 15.2. Clear skies to you.
Those Nebraska skies are very nice! I once hosted the Iowa Star Party in "Nebraska".
