Hi,
I haven't used my scope in quite some time but thought I would set it up to take a look at Mars. Am not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't as good as I thought it was. I started out with my 20mm eye piece and found the moon then from their found mars, then I swapped to my 4mm eyepiece and I didn't really see a lot. By using the focusing knob I can get Mars to go from a ring with a black dot to a small dot back to a ring with a black dot. My scope is a Tasco 450x112mm Astronomical Reflector, is it just not powerful enough to get decent views or am I doing something wrong ? What do I need to get views like these - http://www.geocities.com/andreatax/Mars_2003.htm ? Dave |
