What astronomical objects can you see with these? Andromeda Galaxy, rings of Saturn, etc. Trying to get a feel for what to expect.

You can see a wide range of Messier objects especially the beehive cluster (M44) in Cancer which actually is naked eye but the binoculars really bring out the texture. I went through most of appendix A of the Astronomical Leagues Binocular Messier program with my 7x35 and will finish up with my 10x50's.

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. =)

I tried stargazing the other night. Of course it brings the stars a little closer to you, but it's not a telescope or intended for that. It's still a alot of fun though You can still identify constellations and take a quick look at the night sky. They are great for hiking, walking, identifying birds in trees--or just seeing what's going on down at the corner!

Hello, I would say the images for me are the same as I have the basic eyepieces and two sets of as you need two sets for the bino viewers but what I like is the eye relief that you get when looking through them and a almost 3d effect like you get when looking through binoculars. If you can afford it I would highly recomend it, not for just yourself but for other viewers as well. I have a Celestron 8SE and looking at Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, well its pretty awesome. My plan is to do astrophotography, if I was really into eyepieces I would go with the two inch and some nice Nagler eyepieces. Hope this helps, Good luck and dark skies.

You will see the moon with decent clarity. You will see saturn and its rings, jupiter and its moons. It takes time to get used to and to identify the planets but it is good for the price. Find a dark area in your yard (try to avoid street light) and you will see some cool things. Patience is important. Enjoy

Galaxies are observed using low power eyepieces. You won't see much using high power so things are very sharp but don't expect to see brilliantly lit gas clouds like you see in magazine astro photographs those are long exposure pictures your eye can't see that looking real time.

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

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 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

LOL Oh no, ask away!! Personally I believe a reflector scope will be much easier to use than a refractor. Yes, you should still be able to see Saturn and it's rings. Even with a scope having a greater aperture and a high magnification lens you will not be able to discern much in the way of surface features. In a good dark sky area and with ideal conditions you might be able to pick out some cloud bands and that's about it. BTW, even with a XT4.5 you will also be able to see the largest 4 of Saturn's moon's orbiting about it! If it is within your budget I would bump the scope up to an XT6, if not then the XT4.5 is still a fine scope for starters. Also, have you considered a good pair of binoculars? You will still be able to see Saturn's rings and binocs can afford you some truly impressive views of the milky way as well as star clusters and some comets. Their wide field of view can make for some stunning viewing. I'd recommend getting a tripod with binoculars so you can keep them steady while viewing. Binoculars are a fine way (and can be even cheaper) for beginning to learn the night sky.

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

It's relative. The humidity, the clarity of sky, the artificial light absence, the quality of the eyepieces, the seing, are fundamentals conditions. But, this telescope give you a good experience observing Saturn and his rings. In good ambiental conditions, even you can see Cassini's división, and four moons: Io, Calisto, Ganímedes and Europe. Regards from Chile.

The supplied eyepiece will show the rings. What level of detail are you seeking? Cassini's division? Given good seeing conditions, achievable with suppied eyepiece which is roughly 50X.I have used 150X for better results. Cheers!

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.

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!

There are several issues that could be here, depending upon your experience with telescopes and such. First question: could you see the moons in a more or less straight row on one side or the other of Jupiter? If not, it would seem you possibly aligned on a bright star like Castor or Pollux rather than Jupiter? The finder has to be aligned to the mail optical tube on a real object. I find the Moon easier as you can always find it by shadow, glare or just plain luck. Have someone hold the image in the scope while you tweak the finder knobs to get the red dot centered on some feature of the moon and have that feature centered in the eyepiece field of view. If you could see the moons, but no detail on the planet there could be a couple of issues. The more complex of which is that if your eyes are like mine, I need a bigger image to pick out detail. Yet observing buddies can see plenty of detail in small images. Go figure I guess. If you were using the eyepiece with the longer focal length number, the one with the scope might be a 20 or 25-mm I forget. Then once you have the planet centered or off to the leading edge of the field, switch to the higher power or the lower focal length eyepiece and refocus. Hope this is helpful!

Good morning! I was consulting on this and indeed astronomical telescopes invert the image and above what is below and what is left is right. What you have bought is a telescope to see stars, and stars, or planets, or galaxies, all the same right to see them inside out. greeting

You would probably be better off looking at a small telescope for star gazing, good luck.
