Thank you very much!!
jojo "Bill Nunnelee" wrote in message k.net... A 4.5-inch scope has enough light gathering power to see all of the Messier Objects. M81 and M82 make a striking pair and can even be spotted in binoculars. A dark sky will help though. "jojo" wrote in message . .. 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 |

Don't even bother to try while the moon is full. Wait till the moon has waned a bit. Llanzlan. Yes, of course you are right! It will probably be next week before I try again! Thanks, jojo |

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. D- "jojo" wrote in message . .. As a newbie to astronomy, I am searching the night sky.
