What is after the Messier's? 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




Here is a website that has lots of good object lists, downloadable PDF star maps, and PDF object tables. GREAT site, IMO. There are TONS of objects that you can see with your 4" scope. This site has Caldwell, NGC, Herschel, etc, etc.
