thanks for the reply guys and the great link!
from what you guys are describing it definitely is Jupiter but in that case I am nowhere near seeing the red dot, or any cloud formation what-so-ever, with my 10x eyepiece that came with the kit i can see the moons as if they we're stars to the naked eye looking straight up and Jupiter itself is small .. very small compared to what I believe I should be seeing, a slightly bigger blob of light compared to the moons which again a specs
collimation may be an issue as you guys stated because when I use the 9x50 viewfinder and for instance put the crosshair dead on the moon i still can't see the moon through the scope
any further ideas are welcome and should I be looking at a collumating tool?
thanks guys!
