I can see where "magnification envy" begins

I know what you mean.

Enjoy your kit. I got mine today and i'm like a kid on christmas morning.

I just keep holding them,looking at them and screwing on the filters,LOL.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started

Indeed. The 4mm i have is limited to the moon. Too much hassle trying to see anything else. I tried and failed.

It sounds like a good challenge. I had a good look at M42 the other night with the 6mm and was quite impressed (obviously the difference between the plossls and the kellners).
