Hi

I'm pretty new to Astronomy and I have a 700mm Newtonian Reflector telescope with 76mm apature. I've tried looking at variouos things but whenever I seem to go out star gazing it's usually cloudy! I use a 2x barlow with 6-8mm eyepiece and 1.5x errecting eyepiece. How good an image should I be aiming to see i.e. if I'm looking at Saturn should I be able to see the rings?

If, for example, with this equipment I shouldn't see Saturn's rings but I wanted to what would I need? Presumably a bigger Barlow would work...But if I were to put a 2x barlow into another 2x barlow would that then act as a 4x barlow?

Also the DigiEyepiece. With my telescope would it be any good for photographing planets?

Thanks very much

Joe

P.S. I do hope I've put this message in the right place!
