I was using a reflector 130mm telescope. 9mm focus and from the specs a magnification of x72?? not really sure what it all means! How do I get my scope to see what you did??? Im soooo jealous now!!

I couldn't really see the rings with 9mm TMB planetary II but, once I put a 2.5x powermate with it they came up fine. Also visible with a 6.7mm Meade UWA & no power mate (approx 70x) & they just got better & better from there with the 2.5x power mate.
