OK i am back at a computer and can continue!
4. 60mm/100mm. One of the things that beginners find daunting is what all the measurements mean. We have already encountered aperture, the other imprtant one is focal length. The focal lengths of your 2 scopes are 300mm for the Celestron and 700 for the Saxon. This is important as this measurement determines the amount of sky that you can see (also called the Field of View or FOV) Longer focal lengths give smaller FOVs and vice versa.
The other time you will encounter focal length is in relation to eyepieces.
You will notice that the Saxon come with 3 eyepieces that have lengths 25mm, 12.5mm and 4mm. Dividing the scopes focal length by the eyepiece focal length gives you a power (eg 700/25 = 28x) which can be thought of as magnification.
Obviously if you use the same eyepiece in a shorter scope, with a larger FOV, (eg 300/25 = 12X) you get a lower power view and you see more sky!
Now you may think that more power is good, but many objects are very dim and upping the power spreads the light out and makes them harder to see. Planets and the moon can take moderate to high power well but most deep sky objects (galaxies, clusters and nebulae) do best at low to moderate power.
I hope I have explained some things for you, and hopefully not made any errors. The nice people here at IIS will jump on me if I have!!
