Hi everyone,
I have been reading these posts and it seems that I may need a bigger scope.
I have access to a meade DS2070 It is a 70mm AP and a 700mm focal length and has a 25mm and a 9mm eyepiece, no barlow.
My question is what should I be seeing? I have looked at Mars and all I see is a bit clearer dot in the sky when using the 9mm. No way to see any moons. I have tried to look at saturn but it has not been good enough conditions to see it. But I dought that I will see the rings.
Am I doing something wrong or is a 2.8" refractor just not good enough to see anything?
thanks in advance for helping out a reall newbie...
