jojo,

Looks like were in the same boat so to speak. Although not familure with
Busnell yoyager, I know that they make excellent scopes for my Mini 30.
7.62mm rifle. Anyway, my telescope is a Celestron 114mm. 4.5 inch mirror,
I've had great success with it. From Austin, however, and with the moon
being so bright, I haven't been able to see the big dipper for the past week
or so. Light pollution is a big problem. I'm starting to see why some
people love living out in the country.

As a newbie to astronomy, I am searching the night sky.

I have a 4.5" reflector (Bushnell voyager)
4mm, 12,, and a 24mm, also a 3X barlow

I am currently concentrating my efforts on the big dipper.
I cannot view on a nightly basis, as I live in a light rich area so the
questions
I pose now are research till my next dark sky trip.

With my scope an lenses, can I hope to see some of the objects
in the area of the big dipper? M108? M81? M82?

Just trying to find out what to expect.

Thanks,
jo
