First, I don't think Regulus is even in the crab nebula, and I pretty sure you are not going to discover extrasolar planets (let alone moons) with a 6 or 8 inch newt. -------------------- Dirt Cheap Astronomy Voyager 114X900 Newt EQ2 * Sky Chief 60X700 EQ1 * Cometron 62X300 EQ1 Sears Ultra Wide 7X50 Binos * Vintage 16X50 Binos EQ1 Books, Barlows, Eyepieces, Camera Adaptors & Other Esoteric Junk.
