Ok, thanks. I was pretty sure we were doing something wrong. Well, the view is not anything like the pictures. Yet at least :]. But we are happy with it anyway. It is a learning process. I am going to practice some with focusing and magnifying towards a object in the distance during the daylight to get the hang of it. The moon looks awesome though. Christmas is coming up, you got any suggestions for better eyepieces or something else? I am thinking about a barlow lense or something like that.

Hi, So my son got a Sky watcher heritage 130p and it works quite good. There is a problem when using the 10mm eyepiece though. When centering on a planet, like Mars or Jupiter, and using focus a strange disc shows up. It looks as my rough sketch (but the circles are actual circles and not my woobly like my drawing). I am thinking if we use it wrong or some other error. But its strange since there is no problem when looking at the moon for instance. When the use the other eye piece, this don' t happen at all. Thankful for help.
