没在好环境下用过大口径,但是目视能看到尘埃带的报告确实有很多。
以下为例:

Description:I was learning the sky from my parents' backyard in Queens NY near the borderof Nassau county. Queens Village / Elmont NY. It was a dark night and no onehad floodlights in their backyard then. No shopping mall parking lots lit 24/7!My eyes were about 20 years old, not 63 with retinal problems, lens implant andcataract. I located M31 and M32 with my 60mm f/15 Unitron and a 25mm eyepiece.The sky background was dark. I only saw the brighter central region of M31, butcould plainly detect the dust lane. M32 wasa bright fuzzy. I used a Unitron'Hexagon' rotating eyepiece holder with a 1.25 in. Jaegers 30mm f.l. eyepieceand all my .965-in. eyepieces in steps: 25 18, 12, 9, 6, down to 4mm. The slowmotion adjustments on its sturdy altazimuth mount were adequate. I bumped offof M31 and found a faint fuzzy. I got all excited as I thought I had found acomet. I made mental notes to the locations of M31 and M32 so I could locateit again, then went inside to check Norton's Star Atlas, epoch 1950. This wasNGC205! I couldn't believe that a 60mm would show this but it plainly did.I can not see M32 nor M110 from Nashville, Tennessee with a 5 inch SCT!This is a very dated observation but my memory of that night is clear.
也就是说5.5的环境下用60mm镜子足够看到M31尘埃带,换成8寸效果肯定更上一层楼
