I had the pleasure of viewing through a 24" Dobsonian last night. Although the sky was filled with thin clouds, making good viewing of galaxies hard, M13 was amazing. It was resolved into hundreds of stars and had a fantastic three-dimensional look. I've got an 80mm refractor that will resolve a few stars under good condtions, but this made the view through the refractor look downright pitiful. Rats, now I have no choice but to get a big Dob - I'm hopelessly addicted :-)
