The CURSE? You haven't heard of the CURSE!

My god, man, you really are a noob!

It is the only curse I know of that can make doctors and street sweepers weep alike!

Glad you are enjoying your new scope. I have one and really enjoy it. The planets may look small but on a good night you can see some good detail on saturn and Juipiter especially. On my first night with it I found a "star" and when I focused on it found it was Juipiter. Was a real buzz so I know what it must have been like to see Saturn on your first night.

Enjoy

Cheers

The main thing with planets is to give your scope time to cool down to the surrounding temperature. My Dob performs terrible in the first 30-45 minutes then presto- sharp as a bell after that.

Once both the human eye and scope has adapted you will be surprised what detail you can see on planets.
