Below you will find some examples of what you can expect to see when using this telescope.
5.1.
The Moon is one of the most spectacular
objects to be seen through a telescope. Even a small
telescope will reveal a lot of details of the Moon’s
surface. You will be able to see the craters on the
Moon’s surface and other features like the Marea.
The moon is a very bright object. It is better
observed when the Moon is not full. Try the
crescent Moon and look for features along the
terminator (between illumated and dark surfaces).
5.2.
Jupiter is the biggest planets of our solar
system. It is also one of the most favorite targets for
beginners. Galileo was able to discover that the four
tiny dots that circle around the planet were in fact
part of Jupiter’s system of moons. With this
telescope you will not only be able to see Jupiter’s
planet disc with its two major discernible bands, but
also its biggest moons, Io, Europa, Ganymedes and
Callisto.
5.3.
The “lord of the rings” of the night sky, Saturn
is by far the most popular target for small
telescopes. Saturn’s rings are discernible even at
60x magnification. In a very good night you will be
able to see the Cassini’s division (the darker band of
Saturn’s rings).
