@black4white I can't remember how much I paid for mine, It's a 6 inch reflector on a Dobson mount. Ya no way I can see that. I can see some galaxies like Andromeda but they look more like cigar shaped smudges.

@TryingtoLava Believe me i see a lot of things and from the rings on Saturn and moons on there as well... To the different starts and colors they have.... ITS a full on blast.... i look some of everywhere with is and fortunately i live in an area where i can see the milky way nightly pretty much simply cuz i have ZERO light wash from street lights and city life.
