Try getting crisp details in Deeper space for Nubulas etc forget that also. I have a lot of gear but useless without the right lenses as you and I have already experienced.

GaryA, I am sorry you feel like you have had no help from this forum. I am unsure of what your expectations are, but with your scope and the eyepieces supplied, you should at least be able to see Saturn's rings, the Cassini division, the ring shadow and on good nights bands on the planets surface. If you have not seen this, perhaps the collimation is out. Do not expect to see the Enke division or radial spokes on the rings with your scope! As others have said in this thread, use the eyepieces you have until you decide what objects interest you most. I have 6 televue eyepieces which I have collected over a 25 year period - you don't need to do everything at once. My latest Televue is a 17.3 Delos and I like this eyepiece more than any of the others!
