Is there anything that is awe inspiring like some of the Messier's? within reach of a 4" refractor? I know there are a lot of things to look at but really, can you top M57? I like OCs/GCs/PNs but I fear I will have seen the best I can with a 4" scope once I am done the Messier's. Sure I have an 8" dob, Very OLD dob but its bulky and not easy to move around. But is a 4" refractor and an EQ5 mount? lol -------------------- Jeff D Coulter Odyssey 2 8" Dobsonian Celestron Nexstar 102SLT Antares EQ-5 Mount Celestron Skymaster 15x70 Messier Certificate Count: 71/110 St. Croix Observatory RASC-Halifax Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on What Next? with small scopes Magellan 07/29/08 12:21 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Mr. Mike   07/31/08 11:41 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes skypilgrim   07/30/08 03:24 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Tony Flanders   07/29/08 01:39 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Steven Aggas   07/29/08 06:00 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes JohanK   07/30/08 03:31 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Steven Aggas   07/30/08 03:57 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Tony Flanders   07/30/08 05:10 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes KWB   07/30/08 05:28 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Steven Aggas   07/30/08 07:38 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes GlennLeDrew   07/30/08 09:24 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes astrokido   07/31/08 04:49 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes Fiske   07/31/08 05:30 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes xfile101   07/29/08 05:03 PM Re: What Next? with small scopes cildarith   07/29/08 01:24 PM Extra information 1 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
