Re: Celestron 9.25 Evolution Telescope
Tonight maybe be a clear night and my plans are to try to find the galaxies M65 and M66 below Leo when it gets high in my SE sky. Their surface brightness is around 12.36 so I'm guessing I won't be able to see them.
I have found some very pretty open Clusters in areas where I see no stars with my bare eyes so this telescope is doing something.

Large
Once you confirm the right location work slowly through your EPs starting from the lowest power (36mm). At each power sit on the view for a minute, employ averted vision tricks to see if you can spot some faint glow.
Your 36mm

Re: Celestron 9.25 Evolution Telescope
The Ghost of Jupiter,
It has to be my sky that prevents me from seeing anything when pointed at a Galaxy. And that is taking my time trying all my EPs with the Baader Silver BBHS 2" Diagonal.
My alignments seem to be more accurate with the Celestron GPS and I'm guessing that is due to a more accurate time of day that it provides that has to be better than the clocks in my house.
I will add that when I saw Andromeda from my home in Florida in a 6 inch Reflector clear as day my sky there was black. Not grey like it is at my home in TX. Oh, and I couldn't even see Polaris tonight. I rarely see this star.
Any thoughts from you guys would be greatly appreciated.
