Planetary images too bright, help required!
I've just recently puchased a Celestron 127 Powerseeker scope (my first scope), this is just to tie me over until I can afford the "Good Stuff" and I'm having trouble with viewing Jupiter. I can see the moons okay, but Jupiter is just too damn bright! I cannot see any banding even if I use 20mm by itself, add the barlow, switch to the 4mm by itself, barlow is not used on 4mm. Stars seem okay, Moon... WOW! Joops just seems like another star.
The scope is standard out-of-the-box, no extra accessories have been purchased yet. It came with 20mm & 4mm eyepieces & a 3x barlow. No filters at the moment.
Please help me!
Thanks in advanced!
