hey all. i've really been burning up the evening hours using my telescope i got about a year and a half ago. it's only a little 3 inch buschnell reflecting telescope. i have really enjoyed it so far and am soon upgrading to an 8 inch. i have been trying to see things like nebulas and some of the messier objects to no avail. clusters are no problem. i'm looking for advice on what it is that i'm looking for. i feel i'm missing something. i know i cant see everything but i'm sure i can see more than just a few clusters. also all the mags i suscribe to really glorify them and i know i'm not going to see those beautiful colors. maybe do i need filters of some sort or should i be able to see some without?????????
