Obviously, the views of these galaxies are far less gratifying that what you would see with the exponentially more light gathering ability of an 8 or 12 inch telescope. But, with dark skies, many of the galaxies in the Virgo Cluster are within reach of even my small scope and, with patience, the thrill of at least finding them is the same as with a larger scope.
Technical details on my photos:
Scope: Starblast 4.5; tracking on
Magnification: ~30x
Camera: iPhone6 using NightCap Pro; ISO 8000;
Each photo: 1x~20secs.
