Guest mike foster Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It has a database of nearly 40,000 objects but how many of them can i expect to be able to see with a 4" scope,I dont want to waste a lot of time looking for things that are out of range so was wondering if there is a list of objects that are within range, Also i have ordered a tal 2x barlow will this allow me to see further or just to bring in closer objects that are all ready visible.

Doc Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Maybe 150 from a semi dark site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DaveJW Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It depends on what the database counts as an object? If stars are objects then 40,000 might be theoretically true (there are a bout 6,000 stars potentially visible to the unaided eye in total, if you include the southern hemisphere and have optimum conditions/eyes).
