I have now used it a bit now. Looking at Jupiter and the Moon. The moon is great. The detail of it is amazing. Jupiter is good and can easily see the four moons and minor cloud band detail. I was using the 20mm eye piece the whole time.

I then tried the 4mm one and the moon is still good but not great and Jupiter is just a disc which is blurry.

I was told that I could easily see the cloud bands of Jupiter and moon shadows of the surface with a 5" telescope which is what this is. Is there a way I can improve it? I live near Melbourne City does this have anything to do with it?
