First time seeing Saturn and Jupiter through a telescope

[makabayan]

My first telescope arrived yesterday, a Vixen 70M Space eye.

Saturn at 35x magnification - I can already see the ring and at  70x magnification - a much better separation of the planet and its ring.  Was able to see two bands on Jupiter plus its 4 moons. An unforgettable moment.

Thinking of getting a 2x Barlow and filters to have a better view of the planets.

It really is a defining moment,  remember both of my first times.

All down hill from now though, nothing else that amazing or colourful

That's a lovely moment.

What filters do you mean?

[laudropb]

Well done. A first view of these plants will live with you forever

I think thats a different message board entirely

Congradulations on bagging your first objects- bear in mind these filters are only the start of your collection.

Even if you're not intending on buying much, trust me the collection grows :-)

Not bad going for your First Light Report. Well done, So, you now've got that out of the way, you will now be expected to complete the Messier list by Christmas LOL! 

Jokes, I've barely started, as I start my mission, then get sidetracked by something else haha! Looking forward to hearing more from you. Nat x
