Re: Earth & Mars to be closer neighbors since 2003 this Sunday. 10/30/05/
I have a 6" Dobsonian, $299, I can see a lot of things that look very great in the telescope. Yes a lot of stuff is fuzzy, but I've gotten shots of Jupiter and it's moon, or Saturn's rings that are sharp enough to cut with. No offense but a $100 refractor doesn't sound all that high quality. Reflectors like my Dobsonian are also better for most things because they take in more light and generally do the magnification cleaner then a lens would.
Then again I'm tired and have a migraine, so I could just be babbling....
Now to be on topic, I saw Mars in 2003 when it was close to Earth and it looked great in my 60mm $150 refractor, I can't wait for the skies to clear up so I can try with the 6" Dob.
