I am new to Astronomy and have just started out with a pair of binoculars. I was wondering how detailed you can see something like Saturn through a scope.
Can you see the rings and other planets around it in detail.

I have never looked through a scope and was just wondering what level of detail I can expect if I do eventually upgrade.
