Can you see the whole solar system with this, and if not which planets can you see?

WOW! When you ask to see the whole Solar System, you're talking something the Hubble Telescope can't see. As far as the telescope being a great product and perfect for the beginning astronomer, curious adventurer and future explorer, then you are buying the perfect telescope. It's easy to set-up, easy to use and will excite imaginations - young and old.

The eye is not very good in discerning colors when objects are dim, so don't expect to see Jupiter's red spot really red. But definitely you can see colors. You can even see Neptune much bluer than Uranus, for example. It also depends a lot on sky conditions.

I suggest going to a planetarium if that is what you want to see. Great instrument for the moon and planets, but you won't get Observatory quality.

You can see four moons of Jupiter and sometimes the lines of Jupiter, I have not been able to see Saturn jet but I am sure you can see the rings of Saturn.

Yes. Now I don't know whether the provided eyepieces will give you the best results, but with a good 17mm lens you can see the stripes of Jupiter and, of course, the rings of Saturn. Moons of Jupiter easily visible as well.

You can see just the bigger ones like jupiter and saturn each with their moon and rings in case of saturn The other ones i personally cant see

Yes. One count is one full package with all the planets (in very good detail). They are a pretty good size so even hung from the ceiling they can be seen really well.

Yes...they will give you beneficial options in viewing power. Plus the filters when used with lower power lenses will enhance the viewing of planets. I recommend the kit. Enjoy

Yes, you will. With my five inch telescope, I can see the blue color of Neptune pretty well. To see closer planets with color you will need to develop a lot more skill. First of all, some planets are very bright at some time of the year because they reflect a lot of sun-light. Hence, you may not see the color very well, but you certainly can see Jupiter's bands (of course not "hubble quality") with planning (and proper eyepieces). Not to mention rings of Saturn, which are absolute pleasure to watch. Right now the scope is around 100 dollars, which is a great price for anyone as a beginner scope. Clear skies! Yes, you will.

Hello Douglas, You certainly can! Earth is pulling away from Mars right now so that observation will require very steady conditions but is certainly possible. Jupiter's great red spot and at least four bands should be visible under good conditions as well as the Cassini division in Saturn's rings and hundreds of lunar craters. I hope that this was helpful!

You can see them fairly clear, i'll put a link at the bottom of my comment to a guy who takes photo's with his 4se. Keep in mind, when you're looking through the scope, the view is not as fuzzy as his photos and video. You can't magnify much more than 150x with the 4se but you can see Saturn with it's rings, and Jupiter very clearly. I'm not sure what the other person is talking about the motors jumping, mine tracks beautifully. This is a great starter scope, but, I also agree there are way better ones out there. For a first scope just to get you familiar with the sky and Astronomy, the 4se works great. If you're like me though, you'll probably want something bigger and faster within a year. I'm actually thinking about selling my 4se to step up to a much higher end scope for Astrophotography. May I ask where you're from? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7LIfGL0G50jj7sP_aktkHA

Yes you can see all three in a three inch telescope, but they will be small.

Pretty much just the Moon. Planets and other stars do becoming brighter. (brighter dots) They're pretty decent for terrestrial viewing too. For a beginner just starting out.. They're totally worth it. You'll know if you'd like to continue with the whole "amateur astronomer" thing. =)

U can burn your eyes out looking at the earths moon with this, u can barely see Jupiter and it moons are like little star dots around it. No way u can see Saturn without a Barlow lens with this and even with Barlow were talking barely visible. I suggest getting the xt6 definitely worth the money, Jupiter is smaller than a pea u can barely make out its stripes

Hard to answer that question without having my telescope setup. I have both this barlow and the longer one, and I can't remember which one I used. I do remember that at one point in time I could not only see at least 5 of Jupiter's moons at one time, but I could also see spaces between Saturn's rings if that's what you're asking. I have an Orion 8Xti telescope. That particular night had to have been an all time great for me. The skies were fantastic for viewing that night.

Just last week I was able to pick out 3 of Jupiter's moons under city lights with these. Although I couldn't make out any banding, I could clearly tell that Jupiter was not just a point of light. I expect Saturn will look slightly oblong, but I doubt the rings will show up distinctly. Orion and the Pleiades looked impressive with the wider field of view than what my telescope gives me. Open clusters looked good as well. They're far more convenient than hauling out a telescope, but there are large trade offs vs a decent 6 or 8" dob telescope that will run 1/2 the price. But then a telescope is useless during the day for birding or sports. Just last week I was able to pick out 3 of Jupiter's moons under city lights with these.

No, it does not project specific planets. Its an impression of a night sky, but not an astronomical reproduction.
