Do stars appear as PIN-POINTS, can you see all four of Jupiter's big moons, any optical field distortions? Rich

The center of the field is pretty sharp and astigmatism-free, though there is some distortion/coma toward the edges (these are not high-end optics). I'm pretty happy with them for extended objects and clusters. I had no problem seeing Jupiter's moons, and if you have a stable tripod you should be able to discern the presence of Saturn's rings.

Stars are pretty good pin-points in the central region of the lenses. I am not sure of all 4 of Jupiter's moons. Maybe with a tripoid.

A lot of moon. On a clear sky if you are lucky a glimpse of Mars and Jupiter

Great view of the craters on the moon close to the terminator. Jupiter (and possibly the great spot on a very clear night with appropriate filters). Jupiter's moons (point sources) and their movement around Jupiter. Saturn and it's ring(s!). Mars as a red dot. Venus and its crescent. Orion nebula, ring nebula, and a handful of star clusters. Keep in mind that the weather is a determining factor in your observations. Good luck!

Actually, in even a modest telescope, i.e., a 120mm refractor with a 30mm eyepiece, Jupiter will appear the size of a pea held at arm's length. The same scope with a 15mm eyepiece will render Mars about the same size... much more than 'a point of light'. However, to view any detail whatsoever on Mars, (or Jupiter) you'd need a very dark and still sky, with virtually no light polution... an extremely rare set of circumstances. Once, at the Roper Mountain Observatory, I observed a global dust storm on Mars. We could actually see it advancing across the planet's surface. But conditions were ideal, and that scope is a huge Alvan Clark refractor. No combination of telescope/filter/eyepiece will render planetary detail if conditions aren't at least good-to-excellent. Hope this answers your question, Bill

I've seen Venus, mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. The moons of Saturn and Jupiter are also viewable right out of the box.I would recommend the extra lenses kit, though.

No. The 15mm and 6mm lenses that come with it are sufficient. I was able to see Jupiter and a few of it's moons with the 6mm. You just have to focus it correct.

Yes to the first two, unsure about Saturn' s rings as I have not actually looked at them through these binoculars. My assumption is that they would be visible, based on the overall performance of these binocs.

I do not have a great deal of xperience at star gazing, however when I look at the moon, I can see craters that I have never seen before. I hope this helps you in your decision.

Hi! Yes you can see Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with this scope. I also recommend buying a 2X barlow lens to expand the power of GoScope.

While it is NOT a telescope I have used mine to look at the moon and Jupiter. You will need a good tripod of course. But it was quite clear at looking at the craters of the moon. A bit shaky if bumped. Like I said, it is not a telescope.

The item is at my grandchildren's home. I'm not sure they have looked at the moon but they do talk a lot about the stars. I'm sorry I am not much help.

Yes - this telescope will show endless features on the moon, the rings of Saturn and the Cassini Division in the rings, most of Saturn's larger moons, cloud features and bands on Jupiter including the Great Red Spot, and all 4 of Jupiter's main moons.

If the planets are in the sky this telescope can see most of them - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The outer planets, Uranus and Neptune are more difficult to see, but at a dark site and under good seeing conditions you should be able to view them as well. The telescope will also let you see brighter Nebulae and galaxies, open clusters and globular clusters. It has a built in menu that will slew (point) the telescope to objects in the sky.

Unfortunately not. The stars are randomly generated. It is still amazing to see, though!

hello, yes BUT....if you look in my review you should see images of saturn taken with this camera. I have taken some of jupiter as well. At first i was pleased with those results, but you will really need a 2x barlow (or more depending on your focal length, with this camera to get good photographic results if you intend on stacking and processing the frames. I used it for a while, but eventually bought a NexImage 5 and even though it's a little more than twice the cost, the results out of the box are much better. Also second the J. Busse on it will depend on your optics. My results with Celestron 9.25 inch SCT hello, yes BUT....if you look in my review you should see images of saturn taken with this camera.

Absolutely, even with my very poor vision, I can see detail of the moons surface. Not huge but bright enough to make you wonder why you are not wearing sun glasses. LOL

Yes you see them great with this telescope, I've seen the moons of jupiter as well. Is it the clearest, no but in my opinion worth probably 150, so for the price it is excellent.
