This is all super helpful. I have had success with the moon in great detail. I bought the eye piece kit with a few options down to 6mm. I think there is a 17/13/8/24 and a doubler. I will try to make sure I am on the right thing and not just a star but I think I am. I was looking at Jupiter Mars and Venus. Again not much to see and thought I would see more. Is it possible to see Saturns ring with this telescope.

I have a Celestron Nexstar 8se. I have tried to view a few planets but they are just bright dots. I can’t see any detail or really any unique colors. What am I doing wrong.
