Stu, I did the H400 with an 8" SCT, roughly half from suburban skies and the other half (the fainter ones) from darker rural sites in the Midwest.

Also in the October issue of Astronomy Magazine there is an article titled " Observe Autumn's Best Nebulae". Again will I be able see these nebulae through a 10" DOB. I know they wouldn't appear like those that appear (color, size) as in the magazine. Respectfully and clear skies Stu Hoppper ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
