Other factors that haven't been mentioned...what you'll see on the

washes out the details and requires lower magnification. But on
nights when things are truly steady (perhaps somewhat hazy, stars
aren't really twinkling), then you should see much more.

Thank you, Larry! I am still gathering and going through all the
suggestions and comments made and am eager to try a few things...as soon
as it stops raining here in Louisiana!

There is a long standing "superstition" among amateur stargazers that
rain betokens the arrival (or purchase) of a good telescope. Enjoy!

Cheers,
