Two of the biggest thrills I’ve had in my life was to clearly see Jupiter and Saturn through a fairly modest backyard telescope. There’s nothing like being able to make out the bands of Jupiter with it’s moons and the rings of Saturn in real time with your own eyes..
In my 115mm dia. scope, Jupiter and Saturn are amazing. People can’t believe that they are looking at the actual object. I have been accused of putting a picture of Saturn in front of the lens.
And don’t get me started on the Moon…😀
🔭
Yes indeed.
The first time you see either one is unforgettable.
