I have a reflection 114mm aperture 900 mm focal length telescope. i want to nebula and i know that the best filter to use is say the Orion skyglow. i just don't have the cash for it right now. Is there a coloured filter that i can use to improve the visibility of Orion's nebula? as all i can currently see is three bright lights and a little hazy white puff of light around them. i want to see colour in the nebula... also saturn mars and jupiter is are all just light balls. i cant really see and surface detail.. granted i can see the rings of saturn but i want more.
what if i use an #80A filter? will that "dull" Down the planets and show more detail and contrast?
ok... so i feel stupid but there are two caps on the sky watcher telescope. one small cap in the middle of a large cap. i was taking off the small cap meaning i had only 60mm aperture instead of 114mm... everything looks 10 times better!!!! oh and Viola some of us aren't rich.. so don't be so rude!!! in south africa i earn R4500.00 (rand) ( south africa) per month! that is only $600.00 per month. i had to save for a year to buy that scope. so don't be so blunt!!!
