It's Spica, Saturn's neighboring star that I saw.
My Newt is an 8".
The previous owner just threw the 2 eye pieces into the package when he heard I don't have any. I didn't pay anything for them.
Now, I am not aiming for planetary observation, really.
But eventually, will use the scope itself as a long lens for my camera.
I want to make sure that the scope is performing at its best.
I don't want to buy a 5mm piece, now.
Is my 10mm Meade ploessl is enough to see the rings on Saturn through an 8" newtonian?
If that is the case, then I will have to make sure that the rings will be visible with the gear I already own.
