Question: Does this telescope really have a magnification of 250x? Can you see Saturn's rings with it?
Document: This is a great, inexpensive telescope. I got it because I wanted to see the rings of Saturn without breaking the bank. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The equatorial mount makes it easy to track objects across the sky. I did have to adjust the sighting scope, which really wasn't that hard, and then I was able to easily find exactly what i was looking for.
If your interested in looking at Jupiter and Saturn and Venus, this scope is alright. You can clearly see Jupiter and 4 moons orbiting it, and see one or two gas bands. Anything past max useful magnification and you start getting a slightly more blurry image, and at 250x Jupiter is not very big. If you are expecting jupiter to fill the whole of your eyepiece and see all the bands with absolute clarity, you are looking in the wrong price range.
This telescope has a great augmenting power to see plantets and stars and it is very wide just like Earth's telescopes. I can see even Saturn's rings with it on a almost cloud covered city night!!!! imagine what i can see in a crystal clear far away from city night!! Love it
I believe the max useful magnification is 250x,(never smart to go over the max magnification b/c the focus gets hard to manage), and the focal length is 1000mm with 2x barlow= 2000mm. Divide that by 8mm and u have 250x magnification, which is the max useful magnification rated for this scope. Formula for figuring out your magnification: Focal length mm x Barlow / Eyepiece mm = Magnification.
It is a very good device to observe the moon, for planetary observations, I think it's complicated.If you want to see the moon at the highest magnification should be able to hold your breath, because any movement makes it difficult to observe at high magnification, this due to the tripod that comes with the telescope.But for people just starting out, is the best option.
The only problem I had was aligning the spotter scope to the telescope. Also, make sure you know that you'll be able to see the rings of Saturn and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, but little else of an astronomer's interest.
FOR THE SEASONED STAR-GAZER:There will be faults no doubt with this platform; and this package will be readily overlooked. What do you expect for &lt;$150.00 telescope? ?FOR THE BEGINNER:The beginner will undoubtedly wish to view the moon and it's features, and be inspired to see the four moons of Jupiter and be awed by the rings of Saturn. They will LEARN how to MANUALLY OPERATE the telescope and mount, rather than have some gadget do it for them.
The 20 mm eyepiece corrects the image so that you see the images in correct position without the need of additional prisms or diagonals. It has a good magnification too. For example, I can read the letters on a beer bottle about 100m far.
This scope can be a great value as it's been discounted deeply with free shipping. You will get a total viewing package and not need to buy accessories while you are getting started. With this scope and a decent viewing location, you will be able to do extensive study of the Moon, you will see Jupiter and its moons, you will see the rings of Saturn, and at least one moon, a polar ice cap of Mars and traces of markings on the surface.
Not a bad scope for the price. Bought it for our 12 year old's bday. Can see the moon in good detail, saturns  larger rings and moons, Mars shows minimal detail. Jupiter is ok and can see the dots of its moons. If you're buying this for a kid or dabbling in backyard astronomy don't buy an EQ mount like this, look for an alt-az mount. EQ mounts are a pain if you're unfamiliar with them.
Answer: Hi Ryan,  Yes you can see the rings of Saturn with this device, but be prepared to be very patient and spend a lot of time.  It took me four months to find the rings, and I am a trained aviation navigator, with 25 years of finding and focusing on the stars to calculate the position of an aircraft over the surface of the earth.  For me t was worth the effort, reminiscent of my career.  But if your desire is to "dial in" the rings of Saturn, you probably need a more powerful device.Sincerely,Don
