Thank you for this fabulous and much needed information. I bought my first telescope this summer, a Celestron Astromaster 130 EQ, and have spent hours upon hours in my backyard gathering the light. This article provided the confirmation I needed that I am not crazy for getting so excited about what I don't see in my telescope. Last year I found Saturn for the first time through my husband's spotting scope and I gathered everyone around to see. Need I say they were not as enthused as I. When I first got my 130mm I expected to see more, but, my disappointment was short lived. I hope other newbies that who might possibly lose interest from their first views will happen upon this article and be spared.
