Re: Deep Sky Observing

what deep space stuff do you get to see with your 12 ?, i was in the belief that you need to long exposure for getting enough light in to see the deep space nebula
i'm guessing that galaxies, star clusters and bright compact nebula are seeable?

i have been intreasted in deep space stuff, particularly coliding galaxies and super nova and thier remnants but i live in london and not got the skys to warrant big equipment

when i had time i used to veiw saturns rings and jupi's moons with a small refractor
i also had so bins' that showed up globular clusters and some of the brightest M' stuff

do you have a motor drive for youre scope to keep in rotation with the Earth
