Hi, thank you very much for all the advice provided. Great to have such detailed responses having just joined. I’m sure I’ll be back for advice again in due course. For now, I’ll certainly start by using the links given & getting some new lenses 🙂

Hi everyone, My other half bought me (us) a Celestron 130 for my birthday recently. I have watched tutorials and done a lot of reading about collimating and various other tips since alongside several hours peering through the telescope. I can achieve a very crisp image of the moon which is awesome. However, trying to get a decent focus on Mars/Jupiter Saturn is proving very frustrating. The only non-blurred image of any of them is a single white-point, non dissimilar to what I can see via the naked eye. i’ve tried both the 20mm & 10mm lenses and adjusted the focus in and out all the way. Any advice would be gratefully received. thank you, in advance.
