can one see other planets or stars besides the moon? lol

Not really. You can see the moon really clearly but as for other stars its not that great.

Yes on a good night, Jupiter is a clearly visible disc, and it's moons are very bright points of light with this telescope. You can even just get a make out the colored banding. Stars are still stars of course - to far away. But some objects like galaxies that look like a star to the naked eye are obviously larger more diffuse objects with this.

yes last night we were looking at Venus with my son. its ok for the money, moon looks the best. good for now and my 9 y/o

It's really tough to see any planets in detail with this telescope, the 3" mirror is just not big enough. The other morning (early) I was able to see Jupiter but not any detail.

Yes you can. Even Jupiter's belts and its moons. You can see mars' polar ice caps depending on the season. Saturn, you can see Cassini division and of course the rings, rarely a moon.

Hey Joseph, to be honest with you I haven't tried looking at Jupiter. I do look at Saturn quite often. I can see rings, bands and all moons with really good clarity. Jupiter is much bigger and closer so I dont see why on a clear calm night you wouldn't be able to get a good shot with the starblast. Best of luck.

Not sure, but you can really see the moon. This item was ordered for a friend.

You will see all those, with the exception of nebulas. You will see the bright ones like Orion Nebula, Swan Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, Ring Nebula, etc. The fainter ones like the North American Nebula require a nebula filter.

Definitely yes. Saturn's ring and Jupiter's moons are clearly visible. Phases of Venus are also visible. Mars looks like a red disk (not just a small dot).

You can see the Moon and Saturn with your naked eyes and binoculars, so I think the question is "How much detail can I see with this telescope?" The answer to that is that the surface of the moon is pretty amazing. You can see lots of detail on moon craters, particularly when the moon is a crescent. The full moon will be VERY bright through this telescope and is best viewed using a moon filter. Saturn also looks very neat. You can see the rings and even a little bit of surface coloration if you have very clear skies. But Saturn will at most appear to be the size of a pea at greatest magnification.

You will see different amounts of the moon depending on which eyepiece you use. The lower the power of the eyepice (higher mm focal length) the more of the moon will be can be seen.

Yes; galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Anything that is not within our solar system technically. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Basically just the moon. The moon is beautiful in this. As far as other planets you'll need a much pricier one.

Moon will look great. You will see its landscapes with good detail. You can see the craters clearly. You will also see Jupiter's sattelites an Jupiter itself will look like a ball with the equatorial strips clearly visible. Saturn will be small, but even so, it looks wonderful. You will see the rings without problem. M42 nebula is also observable and a great view. Jewel box is a show through this Celestron.

there's none. but there's some apps u can download in your mobile phone as a guide to where u have to point your starfinder to view the planets and stars

Of course. even a webcam! but a nice canon or Nikon would be better. but need attachment. I don't understand some of the answers here. very silly! look at user photos! a good mount is needed too. But yes totally you can take pictures of most deep sky stuff and planets.

If the planets are in the sky this telescope can see most of them - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The outer planets, Uranus and Neptune are more difficult to see, but at a dark site and under good seeing conditions you should be able to view them as well. The telescope will also let you see brighter Nebulae and galaxies, open clusters and globular clusters. It has a built in menu that will slew (point) the telescope to objects in the sky.

A lot of moon. On a clear sky if you are lucky a glimpse of Mars and Jupiter

YES!!! You can see the moon. This little scope is great for viewing the stars. Just remember it is not a telescope, but it is pretty great for viewing the stars.

You can see Jupiter and if you're in the right place, Mars and Venus. You will need to purchase the lens expansion pack to get good detail on either, but the expansion should also let you get some pretty good views of Saturn and its rings.
