Years ago the local astronomy club had their open house, and I got to view Saturn during a “close” pass, and the scope was a Celestron C-11.

Saturn was identifiable because of its rings, but very little detail could be discerned.

I have a punky little AstroMaster telescope that only cost $100 and can easily make out Saturn and Jupiter and their largest moons.

Looks about as good as this:

Better than any telescope Galileo had, I suppose.
