    It's small, yellow-gold, and structure can be detected.  I recently tried 
    96x, but it's too fast in its lowered orbit.  Higher magnification means a 
    small field of view.  And rememeber that I'm doing this manually.

    I'm not into photography, but I would assume so.  I think the VSOHP Home Page 
    has info on this.
