What do I need for a limiting magnitudePosted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Mike Alexander said:
As a result, my DSO observations have been poor. Even using either a sky glow filter or a UHC filter I haven't even been able to see M51 or the dumbeell nebula at all. M81 is very dim, and with M31 - if that's what I am seeing and not M32 - all I can see is the bright central core with very little elliptical extent.
My question is, with above average transparency, what is the minimum limiting magnitude I need to see eg M51, detail on M81 or extent on M31?
Hello Mike! 8)
I have a limiting magnitude of 3.5 due to me being inside my City's Light Polluted Skies...
I see a hint of M51 on my 10", M31 is a large Fuzzball, M81 the same... M27 is barely visible...
UHC filters will NOT help at all with galaxies, as they are VERY faint already, and the filters will darken everything...
For Galaxies your best option is DARK SKIES. (Even though with Mag5 skies, as you say you have, you should be able to see them better then me, unless you have a lot of haze in the air, which could reflect city lights, making the skies brighter and the Galaxies fainter)
Clear skies!

What you see in which scope (size type, etc)Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
I would say 6-7 on my 10", with glimpses of 8-9? if the seeing is exceptional... 8)

Best over-all filter (visual-observing)Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
As everybody said already, the Lumicon UHC or the Orion Ultrablock are the MOST useful Nebula Filters out there... then everything else follows... (O-III, H-Beta)
