DISCLAIMER: The larger the aperture, the more light a telescope will gather and the fainter the object you can see. Here is a range of magnitudes you might expect to see. Given excellent sky conditions and good optics, a well trained eye can sometimes add up to 0.8 magnitude to these values. Limiting Magnitude depends on much more than the instruments aperture. ...

In comparison with spectroscopy of extended extragalactic objects, the task of observing stars with a high spectral resolution is traditionally given lower priority. ... A ``natural'' response of some researchers of stars and starlike objects is preferential use of low and moderate spectral resolution techniques, where one succeeds in minimizing losses at the spectrograph input. ...
