What we can capture
A 10-inch f/4.48 Dobsonian gathers enough light for the whole Messier catalog, all eight planets, and most of the brighter NGC objects. Here's the rough menu.
NASAMoon & planets
Lunar craters and rilles, Jupiter's cloud bands and moons, Saturn's rings, Mars at opposition.
Star-forming nebula — NASA / SpitzerBright nebulae & clusters
Star-forming regions, planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, open and globular clusters.
NASA / JPLGalaxies
Andromeda, the Whirlpool, the Sombrero, and dozens more — anything down to about magnitude 12.
