    Very beginners, nice gesture, but not a great scope! It will magnify objects for you, but no better than a really nice pair of binoculars!

    With that telescope you will see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn :eek:

    And have a look out for Venus in the evening, you'll see the cresent shape of it get slimer but bigger over the next few weeks.

    You can see the moons of jupiter (well 4..) and the rings of saturn (well a small disk with a bar through it) with a pair of binoculars.
