I recently purchased a Celestron - NexStar 114 GT from Costco for $198.00
with a $40.00 instant rebate. I felt I got a good deal on this scope. After
the first use...I have to say that I'm disappointed with the size that Mars
appeared. Slightly larger than the eraser on a pencil. I used the standard
10mm eyepiece which gave me 100X. I thought I would be able to see the Polar
Ice caps etc. Is there a better eyepiece that will give me a larger image
with better detail? Honestly, my binoculars and spotting scope were almost
as good as this scope....am I doing something wrong?

Hmm lets see you are looking at an object Smaller than Earth 35
Million miles away, just how big do you want it?

Why is the ratio of Hydrogen to Stupidity less in usenet than anywhere else in the universe?
