So with my Meade ETX-70AT, I was under the impression that I would be able
to see surface features on Mars. But so far I have only been able to focus
in on a very small orange dot, about twice or three times larger than a
typical bright star in my view finder. I only have the two eyepieces that
came with the scope, a 25mm and a 9mm. Do I need a Barrow lens, or different
eyepiece? Any tips appreciated.
Thanks
paul
