I once studied Saturn with a 22 power spotting scope. This was a high quality ED glass telescope.
Saturn hardly looked much larger through that scope than it does with the naked eye. I could make out the rings tho. I had to keep my eye just away from the eyepiece or the telescope would shake so much that I could barely see anything. This was with a $250 tripod too.
For some reason, when viewing objects in the daytime the image doesn’t seem to shake at all.
Aperture, aperture, aperture.
