Hi Richard,

I suppose you were referring to the one that Astro Bargain is selling at $155? (as shown in the pic) I’ve been eying on it for a while actually. Sorry I was busy last Friday... hopefully I’ll be free for the next observation.

Thanks for your advice! I’ll probably get a narrowband filter from Astrobargain then, with the Galileoscope also lol.

M8

While I was observing M8 for the first time yesterday, my eyes could only detect a slight hint of nebulosity for the brighter side of the Lagoon. NGC6523 nearby was visible though. Through the eyepiece M8 is as faint as M4, unlike M42 which is much brighter in my opinion. Do I need to train my eyes ...
