I've seen both as well as the rings of Saturn. The craters of the moon are amazing with this telescope.

Moon will look great. You will see its landscapes with good detail. You can see the craters clearly.You will also see Jupiter's sattelites an Jupiter itself will look like a ball with the equatorial strips clearly visible. Saturn will be small, but even so, it looks wonderful. You will see the rings without problem. M42 nebula is also observable and a great view. Jewel box is a show through this Celestron.

Yes, I've seen Jupiter (and 4 of its moons) with some banding, Saturn, Venus and Mars. If you want more detail you need to get at least a 6" reflector, but yes it can easily see the above planets. I tried Mercury with it, but Mercury is tricky.

yes, but the view is from Earth's moon so it's a different vantage point. My boys were able to get them all.

In a short answer, no. But let me explain. Under the best viewing conditions, this telescope is powerful enough to view Mars. You will see the red disk resolved and perhaps some fuzzy white blotches at the North and South poles, indicating the polar ice caps...again if the time is right. Even superpowerful telescopes can't do much better than that so keep that in mind. This is a great telescope.

Yes, you can see the Moon with the 09881 Observer 70 refractor! It comes with two eyepieces giving you 28x, 70x. You may want more magnification so we suggest getting the Orion 2x Shorty Barlow. It goes where you usually put the eyepiece and then the eyepiece goes in the back of the Barlow tem # 08711. If the Moon is too bright for comfort you might consider our 25% Moon filter that will screw into the silver end of either eyepiece Item # 05598. All the best!

Saturn is my favorite planet to view currently. Good detail with this scope(over my Orion SpaceProbeST)..and the more you time you spend observing, the more detail you will see.

Short answer = Yes!!! I have seen Venus, Mars, Jupiter (and its moons) and Saturn and its rings. I was thoroughly impressed when I saw the rings. Now, please don't think that there is this big honkin planet in the viewfinder. This is a beginner level telescope (and i'm a beginner). Saturn is a small dot of light, but the clarity is so awesome that you see the rings ... and the moons of jupiter ... even smaller specs of light - but it was cool to know that I was seeing with my eyes, the moons of jupiter

So far I can see the moon in exquisite detail. I am not experienced enough to say I can't find it because of the telescope. I bought it for my 7 year old and we have looked through it several times and let me tell you, the moon is incredible but I am sorry to say as of yet I haven't journeyed much further than that. I hope this helps.

Zach, the only planet I have visted is the moon, its been so cold here not spent much time outside. Canˋt wait for warmer weather.

You can see the moon pretty well with these, but it's a lot closer to Earth than Jupiter. You can see Jupiter and it's moons though, but nowhere near close enough to see its red spot. Through this magnification Jupiter is still pretty much just a bright dot and the moons are four tiny dots around it.

I saw the moon craters but since I'm new to this wouldn't even know how to locate Jupiter sorry

Yes. ..I was also able to view Jupiter & Saturn, but that took a little work. The sight provided works poorly for targeting celestial objects. The lenses are fine for amature moon gazing though...

10mm & 20mm... We have been using the 10mm to view the moon and the 20mm to view deep space

Actually I use these to observe the moon and they are wonderful. I certainly do not notice any distortion and can see many dozens if not hundreds of moon craters and the image is bright and razor sharp. I can also easily see the Galilean moons of Jupiter with these. Jupiter is visible in the early nighttime right now. The Galilean moons can be clearly seen with these binoculars hand held but for a steady image I highly recommend a heavy tripod with a binocular adapter. The 7245 of course has built in threading for a tripod binoculars adapter. I was so surprised that such celestial objects are clearly visible with these. Highly recommended.

Jupiter's moons are visible. Haven't viewed Saturn yet. I would suggest using a tripod.

Not sure, but you can really see the moon. This item was ordered for a friend.
