Everybody, at least once in their lives, should get the chance to see the moon and big planets through a good optical telescope. It's one thing to see pictures or videos. I mean they're great and everything, but when you see them yourself, with your own eyes, and know that there's nothing between you and what you're seeing besides a few pieces of glass, a mirror and space, is a completely different feeling!
One of the most impressive sights is to see the Andromeda galaxy with your own eyes or small binoculars. It is the furtherst away thing one can see with eyes only. 2.5 mill lightyears. When light left it there was no humans on earth....You need clear, dark skies to see it. I was up in the Norwegians mountains one dark winternight when I saw it..
Diabeeeeeeetus! It hurts me to pee and causes me to be short with my family. The other day I stubbed my toe and took it out on the dog! I ran out of vanilla ice cream the other day and struck my wife, afterwards I found out my wife's been dead for 7 years! Who the hell did I hit? Beeeetus.
I'm 74 and in really poor health. I truly miss gazing through my 6" refractor at the marvelous wonders in the night sky. The scope and equatorial mount are too heavy for me to handle. I spent many wonderful nights stargazing at the Lewis site near Orlando. Thanks for posting this.
When I was a young adolescent and had saved up enough money, I bought a Tasco 4.5" reflector telescope from Edmund Scientific. It was just a basic reflector that was limited to using slightly smaller, Japanese spec eyepieces, but it got the job done for me. We lived in an apartment building at the time. I had already known how to identify planets (they don't twinkle like stars) and I wanted to use the telescope ASAP. So I took it into the living room; the wide window there had the best view above the other buildings. I pointed the reflector at the one bright object that didn't twinkle... and it was Saturn! Very, very tiny, but the image was sharp and the rings could clearly be identified. I also noted two of its moons. Right out of the box and I was looking at Saturn!
Does anyone else have an appreciation for how amazing the moon is? I feel like we take it for granted, seeing how it's ever prevalent in our view. But goddamn, it is glorious.
Well actually we believe the moon was once a part of earth till we collided with Fea around the beginning of our solar system so yes live the moon for it may be apart of earth

Excellent, excellent! Once seen, never forgotten. I remember first seeing Jupiter and its moons through a 10 x 80 telescope back in 1967. Never forgot it and I got hooked onto astronomy. Thanks so much. Look forward to seeing more.
Same! Was the only observation my dad was part of because I got a telescope as a birthday present. Think it was in 1996 or 1997. It was not clearly visible but it was enough to see a round ball surrounded by sth disc like. Because it was a cheap telescope it was very hard to keep focus. It had kind of wheel on a screw for fine adjustment. But the mounting at all was so unstable...but yeah kind of addicted since those days.
Lol! So true. I got hooked on astronomy back in the 60's and eventually bought a 10" Dobsonian which I would transport up to the top of a 10,000 ft mountain to view the Planets and Deep Space objects. It was nice, but I eventually sold it and decided to view the Deep Space images taken by Hubble and the Planetary objects viewed by passing Space Probes. Hard to beat it. Plus I didn't have to freeze my butt off.
@@fohpono8884 I could live with freezing my butt off if the images made any justice at all to those that captured my imagination on astronomy books, but sadly backyard astronomy can be expensive and doesn't cut it... better off enrolling on an astronomy science degree, joining a local astronomy observatory with public night sessions or just follow one that does live streams.

In 2002 I was sent to Saudi Arabia with the military. Talk about dark at night! If there was a new moon, I could not see my hand in front of my face. I was on night patrol so we always had the NODS on all night. I would sit on the fence line at night and watch the skies for hours. There is always something moving up there and we saw many weird things with the NODS on. Great video!
Imagine if you zoom too much on some planet through a very advanced telescope and notices another creature looking at your planet through their telescope.

@@johndillinger1918 you give the human race to much credit. If people knew something like this for a fact, and we're told by the government that they had been lied to. I'm pretty sure they would try to spread the word. Also so far you've only told me theories about what you think might be going on. Give me facts, and reasons that go beyond the, I'm right so you must be wrong crap the so many other flat earthers give. Also my age has nothing to do with how much research I've put in.
Thanks! A local man has an 12 inch SCT in a private Observatory on his property. And he shows us some amazing views of objects in the Sky that most folks have never even heard of ! So, KEEP POSTING!
I used to bring my C11 to many public and private outreach events. Thousands of people have looked through the scopes I used to own. I would usually try to do things like globular clusters, or the ring nebula, when the smaller scopes usually were on the planets and double stars, or the brighter nebulae or open clusters. I would sometimes bring a 4" refractor for open clusters or the double cluster as it just looks so much better in a refractor. But m13 at 187x with a 67deg eyepiece, usually knocks the socks off of the public, even from a light polluted site. I once did a high profile event on Palomar mountain at the education center down the road from the 200", that had 200 attendees who came via charter bus. It was a really clear dark night and I was showing m13 at 200x with the 14mm explore scientific 100degree, that was an amazing view.
I think I saw the monolith floating near Jupiter. Those are some good shots of the solar system. Seeing Saturn out there in all it's natural glory is spectacular.

Wow, that’s amazing. I used to want to be an astronomer when I was a little girl and I’ve never stopped being fascinated by space and especially the other planets in our solar system. Thank you for this video sir.
Good luck with that. Unfortunately being an astronomer (I mean as a job) nowadays is more about feeding data to the computer telescope and than analize the results, you don't get to "phisically see" stuff like this, unless you own a little one for yourself. Also there's a lot of math involved, which can prove to be quite hard. But it's still beautiful to get to know what "space stuff you see in the sky" is about.
superCattaz Hence why I said *I used to want to be an astronomer when I was a little girl* I know there are lots of kids on RUclips but I am not one of them. I’m a grandmother now so you don’t have to worry about me being crushed with boredom in astronomy as a career. 😆
Thank you so much for the visual treat. So glad to have found this channel. Leave me with an apparatus like that and I'll spend the entire night for weeks on end skygazing without the need of any human interaction. Thank you once again! ❤️
I love this because it gives a better idea of what you'll really see through a scope. I'm always disappointed when I show friends and family the view and they can't appreciate it because they expect it to look like a picture that took 6 hours worth of hundreds of exposures all stacked and enhanced. Those pictures are amazing but if newbies don't know what it takes to make one it sets them up for disappointment in my experience
Perry Haen CANT YOU SEE?! It’s all a simulation. It’s Proof! His information banks hadn’t completely 100% rendered all of his character module and this was a glitch in the system. Wake up grandpa. We shouldn’t have to spell this out to you...
I've found that, for those people seeing the Moon for the first time ever IN A TELESCOPE, it literally "Knocks their socks off"!!! They never imagined you could see "so much detail" with a "small backyard telescope"! If the sky permits, we use from 200x right up to 350x (rarely!) And the view and images show some fantastic detail.
The first time I viewed the moon through my cheap telescope (from my bedroom while in a moderate sized west coast city back when I was a youngish teenager) was awe inspiring. We were tight on money so a bigger fancier telescope, on a tripod, with powered following just wasn't in any budget. I used to dream a little bit about having a house out in the country, with a small domed enclosure (miniature version of what the big boys, universities and other well funded Astronomers had) able to rotate with my views... awww to dream big.
My goodness i'm only a couple minutes into video but had to pause it quickly to say you live in absolute paradise!! Beautiful place to live my friend!! Wes, Liverpool, UK.
Thanks for the memories! I bought a Mead 10" 2120-LX6 in 1989. Had it for about 16 years. Sold to move to an area with too much light pollution. It's amazing what you can see. I've seen every planet including a tiny spec for Pluto. Sky & Telescope mag ran an article in the 90's on how to spot Pluto during it's closest pass to Earth. Loved most seeing 'globular clusters' which are a snow cone of stars in our very own galaxy. Thanks again.
I remember seeing that telescope in "Astronomy" magazine back in the day, but couldn't afford it and ended up buying a Meade 8" LX10 in the late 90's. Still use it. Globulars are my favourite. To get the most out of these telescopes you need to live far from big cities. Unfortunately I don't and rarely get out to the country but man the views under dark skies are breathtaking!
Thank you for that! It was amazing. I could not believe how much you were able to see! Even the Moon was so clear! Of course the wind would be fighting you on this night. I appreciate you sharing with us!
This is so amazing... I don't have a telescope, but I look at the moon through a nice pair of binoculars and can see the craters in detail. It's hard to believe the moon not as close as it looks.
Something I didn't expected when I moved to a different country is that the Moon looks "upside down" in the northern hemisphere and seems way larger in the sky than from the southern hemisphere, and now I see why they used to say it looks like a face. Curious.
technically not live, the light from these planets takes several minutes to get to earth so you're essentially seeing how it looked half an hour ago or so
Thankyou for putting all that effort in and narration very helpful. I would love to see Andromeda and some bright stars like Sirius, Betelgeuse and Orion belt.
When youre looking for it through a telescope and it all of a sudden comes into frame it spooks me everytime like a jump scare. I dont know why but everything will be dark then all of a sudden BAM
As an amature astronomer for more than 60 year's, on astronomy day after getting permission from the local government. I perform a "Side Walk" event generally outside of the government complex's in my town. In as much as it's always day time, set my equipment up on the moon. Tis ironic how many of the hundreds of individuals who stop by and ask questions as to what's going on and get a gander of the moon through my scope, are amazed by what they see. And in compele awe that they can see the moon during the day. I can't imagine that the general public doesn't know the moon is visable during the nighr and during the day.
Yep, the moon and sun go through a phenomenon called Analemma. Are you aware that the ground we stand upon neither rotates or curves in any direction? The spherical trigonometry calculation for globe earth curvature is 8 inches per mile squared....this is demonstrably non existent. What we believe to be space vacuum is nothing more than life long conditioning. What are we actually witnessing in the night sky??...It's not planets, stars, galaxies or an ever expanding vacuum.
@@TheBravo13x For me is highly unlikely we are alone. Just look at the human body composition, everything around us that's alive, DNA composition, etc, all these things are just proof that we were engineered to me. There's no way so much perfection was created out of sheer luck in one of trillion planets. A crazy idea I think about is that whoever engineered us can drop us in any habitable planet and the body can adjust after so many generations. The crazy thing about human DNA is that we have all these abilities turned off, why? Have you ever read about the guy that can run forever and not experience any tear muscle?
No Bytes I agree, I highly doubt we are alone. I’m sure far far out there, there’s a advanced civilization. There’s no way we can be alone with millions of galaxies out there
But it's not massive. At all. And anything worth pursuing in the universe we will never reach, the distances are just too, too far. It's beautiful to look at.
@@atlantic_love That's not ENTIRELY true. We COULD get there if we solve a few minor problems, but it would be a one way trip. We would die of old age on the return trip.
That was a good one scanner guy, when you showed Jupiter that TV show Lost in Space just popped in my head, I loved watching The Evil Cunning Dr Smith.
At a sci-fi convention in Boston back in 1998, I got autographs and pictures taken with Johnathan Harris, Billy Mumy, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me!
Unreal!! Seeing Saturn with its’ rings, I almost teamed up and I’m not sure why.....just beautiful!!! That butterfly cluster truly looked like diamonds in the sky ❤️
Great video. I saw Jupiter's moons for the first time with my own telescope a month ago. I teared up a little, so beautiful. Had the same feeling when I first saw the Andromeda Galaxy last year
I really want to see M31, Saturn and the Aurora Borealis. I think I would tear up too, glad I'm not the only one who gets emotional/overwhelmed in the face of natures beautiful creations. Not every day you see something so breathtaking 🤍
I remember I had a cheap telescope as a kid, but still it amazed me when I zeroed in on Saturn and you could see it was an oval because of the rings. I also liked the little tiny dots that danced around Jupiter.
YOU CAN SEE THE RING ON SATURN AND THE BANDS ON JUPITER!! How incredible is it to peer far enough to see these whole other planets :O what an incredible universe we live in. Thanks for sharing, this was awesome.
he is zooming in closer and closer and im speechless. its so amazing at how far away it is . i have nothing to say its just incredible. then he says, "yeah its pretty neat" haha. thanks that was very cool. at first saturn looked like a paramecium swimming around in a petri dish
These sentient lights in our sky are within this Earth system just like religions tell us, not millions or billions of miles away like pseudoscience tells us, we need to stop trading in our common sense for the pseudoscience nonsense indoctrinated into us with the help of nasa.
For those of you wondering if that is what you SEE in the eye pieces without the camera....the answer is no. You see cloud bands on jupiter, and the breaks in the rings and cloud layers on Saturn and the views are usually crisp.....live view doesnt do these views justice.
That was one of the prettiest fields I've ever seen, and I grew up in Southern-middle TN on a farm. The grass looked so lush and the contouring was perfect. Like something out of a magazine! Do you know where this guy was filming from?
@@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 I don’t know, but the way he keeps somewhat subtly saying “don’t you know?,” it makes me wonder if he at least is from way up North, Don’t ya know? eh! Like a Canuck! eh! But the area is somewhere that isn’t snowed over yet, but does get cloud, wind and obviously rain with all that green.
Clicked on this thinking, "yeah I watch for about 30 seconds then go into something else". Watched the whole thing and was mesmerized. This was very interesting, I've subbed.
Pretty cool. I love astronomy and one time I was lucky enough to go to an observatory in the Arizona desert and see a bright star cluster from an ancient supernova. It was astounding to look at and realize that what I was seeing was actually old light and that the place where this occured probably looks very different now. Amazing.
The clearness of what I was looking at on the moon was breathtaking amazing i could only imagine if i was there in the flesh. Have you seen anything questionable through those lens? Its so clear how could you not? Wow you are truly blessed and stay blessed and thanks for sharing a part of your life with me i really enjoyed those sections of the moon.
MrFriend seriously? Asking him for money on RUclips? Maybe everything you have said is true, maybe it’s not,but maybe you could sell whatever device you’re using in McDonald’s on the internet and buy a telescope.....
You wouldn’t see much movement from any of them except for Io, as it’s orbital period is just 42 hours. The rest take several days. Getting rock solid tracking is not the easiest thing to do. If you’re off by even a fraction of an arc second, the image will rotate out of view in just 10-15 minutes, let alone an entire night. Then you’ve got the wind to deal with, which even if its just a slight breeze, when looking at something 500 million miles away, it can get pretty shaky. Many challenges, but not impossible. The best bet is to have a telescope shed with retractable roof to protect against the wind. Most of the time, you’re just hoping for a few minutes of steady tracking to allow a digital camera to take a long exposure. Its a fun hobby, but can be frustrating when pictures and cameras get involved.
@@sanketm1663 You are right dobs are really good and quite affordable. But Astromaster isn't that bad for the price you pay. I think only the newtonian reflectors in in the astromaster series are good.
Amazing capture! Thank you so much for posting. My 4 yr old son is starting to develop a passion for the planets and I am trying to educate myself on telescopes so I can help him fall in love with the illustrious images in outer space. Thanks again! I love you videos
Lovely scope, thanks for showing. I'm going to get one. This was stunning. You can look at photos from the ISS all day long, but when you see something with your own eyes, it is far far more real. Nice job dude, I'm glad you took the time. 😊
It looks even better live, the eye makes more detail cos the brightness range is better than the video and you see more detail (especially when the planets are closest). A scope like that would cost a lot, though.
@@Justwantahover I think it would be worth every penny. Saving my pennies for one right now. I've been to frightened to look at the price! One day I will after saving for a bit, get shocked, and carry on. 😂
@@barrysargent1213 This will make you buy one: My best telescope experience ever: I had an 8" Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain telescope with a tracker (but no pointer). Both Jupiter and Saturn were up that night and the "seeing" must have been about the best ever. And this is why. I home hacked a barlow out of a cardboard hand towel tube, a 50 mm camera lens and a few lenses from an old pair of binoculars (that I pulled apart). The barlow would have been many more x magnification (mag) than a barlow you can buy. You put the barlow between the scope and eyepiece. So my eyepiece was 10" higher off the scope. Most bought barlows raise the eyepiece only like 2" higher. lol With mine, the results were way better than I expected (wow factor). Jupiter was the size of a grapefruit (if viewed from desk) and the great red spot was nearly an inch big. lol It was "smoky" but still really sharp (especially with like 1000x mag). lol And Saturn was like a tennis ball size and the rings were like 8" diam (if viewed from a desk). And 3 dark rings inside cream rings. I would have only expected that sort of performance with a 25 ft diameter mirror BIG scope. It was an 8" diameter mirror scope. . lol At that mag I would not have been able to do it cos of earth's spin (making the image quickly split the scene). The scope came with a tracker (and when set up properly) it keeps track of the object (accurately). It was so good that Saturn was still in view after an hour. lol Get a Schmidt Cassegrain scope (8" or more) like the one in this video. You can't go wrong (except sell it like I did). Use Plossil eyepieces for planets cos they are SHARP (and the narrow view doesn't matter with planets). Mine were Mead Plossils used on the Celestron scope. Also Newtonians are a pain in the ass, too much fiddling (collimating etc.). Schmidt Cassegrains are sealed tight and don't require collimating and (cos they are sealed) they don't get dirty inside. And less than half the size as Newtonians. Also Cassegrains have way longer focal lengths (more mag than Newtonians). Planets need mag and Cassegrains have it.
When you look at yourself, you're staring at The Universe. When you look at me, you're staring at The Universe. We all comprise the Universe. Have a great day.
This brought back memories when I was a kid our neighbor had a telescope out in his yard one night and let me look through it and I saw Saturn and it's rings and was absolutely amazed, I've been hooked ever since.
I'm so glad the RUclips algorithm could bring us all together for such a wholesome astronomy lesson.

Thank you, sir!
In 2002 I was sent to Saudi Arabia with the military. Talk about dark at night! If there was a new moon, I could not see my hand in front of my face. I was on night patrol so we always had the NODS on all night. I would sit on the fence line at night and watch the skies for hours. There is always something moving up there and we saw many weird things with the NODS on. Great video!
This. Was. So. Good.....and just perfect to fall asleep to. Nothing calms me down more than being reminded about just how small we humans are...
Imagine if you zoom too much on some planet through a very advanced telescope and notices another creature looking at your planet through their telescope.
You mean eyeballs looking at each other 👍😀

A local man has an 12 inch SCT in a private Observatory on his property. And he shows us some amazing views of objects in the Sky that most folks have never even heard of !
So, KEEP POSTING!
I used to bring my C11 to many public and private outreach events. Thousands of people have looked through the scopes I used to own. I would usually try to do things like globular clusters, or the ring nebula, when the smaller scopes usually were on the planets and double stars, or the brighter nebulae or open clusters. I would sometimes bring a 4" refractor for open clusters or the double cluster as it just looks so much better in a refractor.
But m13 at 187x with a 67deg eyepiece, usually knocks the socks off of the public, even from a light polluted site.
I once did a high profile event on Palomar mountain at the education center down the road from the 200", that had 200 attendees who came via charter bus. It was a really clear dark night and I was showing m13 at 200x with the 14mm explore scientific 100degree, that was an amazing view.
I love this guy. LOL He's looking at a wonder of nature that should leave him speechless in awe, and he casually says, "Yeah, that's pretty neat." XD

Wow, that’s amazing. I used to want to be an astronomer when I was a little girl and I’ve never stopped being fascinated by space and especially the other planets in our solar system. Thank you for this video sir.
Good luck with that. Unfortunately being an astronomer (I mean as a job) nowadays is more about feeding data to the computer telescope and than analize the results, you don't get to "phisically see" stuff like this, unless you own a little one for yourself. Also there's a lot of math involved, which can prove to be quite hard. But it's still beautiful to get to know what "space stuff you see in the sky" is about.

I love this because it gives a better idea of what you'll really see through a scope. I'm always disappointed when I show friends and family the view and they can't appreciate it because they expect it to look like a picture that took 6 hours worth of hundreds of exposures all stacked and enhanced. Those pictures are amazing but if newbies don't know what it takes to make one it sets them up for disappointment in my experience

They never imagined you could see "so much detail" with a "small backyard telescope"!
If the sky permits, we use from 200x right up to 350x (rarely!) And the view and images show some fantastic detail.
@French Soup Guy The hell's wrong with you
@French Soup Guy you sound like an asshole.
The first time I viewed the moon through my cheap telescope (from my bedroom while in a moderate sized west coast city back when I was a youngish teenager) was awe inspiring. We were tight on money so a bigger fancier telescope, on a tripod, with powered following just wasn't in any budget. I used to dream a little bit about having a house out in the country, with a small domed enclosure (miniature version of what the big boys, universities and other well funded Astronomers had) able to rotate with my views... awww to dream big.
Cheap telescope can see 240,000miles away okkkaaayyyyyy
My goodness i'm only a couple minutes into video but had to pause it quickly to say you live in absolute paradise!! Beautiful place to live my friend!! Wes, Liverpool, UK.
Thanks for the memories! I bought a Mead 10" 2120-LX6 in 1989. Had it for about 16 years. Sold to move to an area with too much light pollution. It's amazing what you can see. I've seen every planet including a tiny spec for Pluto. Sky & Telescope mag ran an article in the 90's on how to spot Pluto during it's closest pass to Earth. Loved most seeing 'globular clusters' which are a snow cone of stars in our very own galaxy. Thanks again.
I remember seeing that telescope in "Astronomy" magazine back in the day, but couldn't afford it and ended up buying a Meade 8" LX10 in the late 90's. Still use it. Globulars are my favourite. To get the most out of these telescopes you need to live far from big cities. Unfortunately I don't and rarely get out to the country but man the views under dark skies are breathtaking!
Thank you for that! It was amazing. I could not believe how much you were able to see! Even the Moon was so clear! Of course the wind would be fighting you on this night. I appreciate you sharing with us!

This is so amazing... I don't have a telescope, but I look at the moon through a nice pair of binoculars and can see the craters in detail. It's hard to believe the moon not as close as it looks.
Something I didn't expected when I moved to a different country is that the Moon looks "upside down" in the northern hemisphere and seems way larger in the sky than from the southern hemisphere, and now I see why they used to say it looks like a face. Curious.

As an amature astronomer for more than 60 year's, on astronomy day after getting permission from the local government. I perform a "Side Walk" event generally outside of the government complex's in my town. In as much as it's always day time, set my equipment up on the moon.
Tis ironic how many of the hundreds of individuals who stop by and ask questions as to what's going on and get a gander of the moon through my scope, are amazed by what they see. And in compele awe that they can see the moon during the day. I can't imagine that the general public doesn't know the moon is visable during the nighr and during the day.
Yep, the moon and sun go through a phenomenon called Analemma. Are you aware that the ground we stand upon neither rotates or curves in any direction? The spherical trigonometry calculation for globe earth curvature is 8 inches per mile squared....this is demonstrably non existent. What we believe to be space vacuum is nothing more than life long conditioning. What are we actually witnessing in the night sky??...It's not planets, stars, galaxies or an ever expanding vacuum.

@@TheBravo13x For me is highly unlikely we are alone. Just look at the human body composition, everything around us that's alive, DNA composition, etc, all these things are just proof that we were engineered to me. There's no way so much perfection was created out of sheer luck in one of trillion planets. A crazy idea I think about is that whoever engineered us can drop us in any habitable planet and the body can adjust after so many generations. The crazy thing about human DNA is that we have all these abilities turned off, why? Have you ever read about the guy that can run forever and not experience any tear muscle?

Just beautiful. It is amazing that we can see so far, from our backyard (so to speak).
It's also wild to think that the light we see from Saturn is about 2 hours and 23 minutes old and has traveled about 1.75 _billion_ miles.
Is it possible to get a time lapse of Jupiter's moon's orbital period with a good tracker and telescope!
Yes it would. That would be neat
MrFriend seriously? Asking him for money on RUclips? Maybe everything you have said is true, maybe it’s not,but maybe you could sell whatever device you’re using in McDonald’s on the internet and buy a telescope.....
@@ChrisKlein0 omg this is why you can't trust people on the internet, they freaking lie for money.
You wouldn’t see much movement from any of them except for Io, as it’s orbital period is just 42 hours. The rest take several days. Getting rock solid tracking is not the easiest thing to do. If you’re off by even a fraction of an arc second, the image will rotate out of view in just 10-15 minutes, let alone an entire night. Then you’ve got the wind to deal with, which even if its just a slight breeze, when looking at something 500 million miles away, it can get pretty shaky. Many challenges, but not impossible. The best bet is to have a telescope shed with retractable roof to protect against the wind. Most of the time, you’re just hoping for a few minutes of steady tracking to allow a digital camera to take a long exposure. Its a fun hobby, but can be frustrating when pictures and cameras get involved.

It looks even better live, the eye makes more detail cos the brightness range is better than the video and you see more detail (especially when the planets are closest). A scope like that would cost a lot, though.

@@barrysargent1213 This will make you buy one:
My best telescope experience ever:
I had an 8" Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain telescope with a tracker (but no pointer).
Both Jupiter and Saturn were up that night and the "seeing" must have been about the best ever. And this is why. I home hacked a barlow out of a cardboard hand towel tube, a 50 mm camera lens and a few lenses from an old pair of binoculars (that I pulled apart). The barlow would have been many more x magnification (mag) than a barlow you can buy. You put the barlow between the scope and eyepiece. So my eyepiece was 10" higher off the scope. Most bought barlows raise the eyepiece only like 2" higher. lol With mine, the results were way better than I expected (wow factor). Jupiter was the size of a grapefruit (if viewed from desk) and the great red spot was nearly an inch big. lol It was "smoky" but still really sharp (especially with like 1000x mag). lol
And Saturn was like a tennis ball size and the rings were like 8" diam (if viewed from a desk). And 3 dark rings inside cream rings. I would have only expected that sort of performance with a 25 ft diameter mirror BIG scope. It was an 8" diameter mirror scope. . lol
At that mag I would not have been able to do it cos of earth's spin (making the image quickly split the scene). The scope came with a tracker (and when set up properly) it keeps track of the object (accurately). It was so good that Saturn was still in view after an hour. lol
Get a Schmidt Cassegrain scope (8" or more) like the one in this video. You can't go wrong (except sell it like I did). Use Plossil eyepieces for planets cos they are SHARP (and the narrow view doesn't matter with planets). Mine were Mead Plossils used on the Celestron scope.
Also Newtonians are a pain in the ass, too much fiddling (collimating etc.). Schmidt Cassegrains are sealed tight and don't require collimating and (cos they are sealed) they don't get dirty inside. And less than half the size as Newtonians. Also Cassegrains have way longer focal lengths (more mag than Newtonians). Planets need mag and Cassegrains have it.
