Pirate telescope blurry8/12/2023 ![]() What am I doing wrong?Why am I not able to perceive any detail on the planets?I have read that even the junky scopes can reveal the rings.Yet,that's not the case for me.I have been struggling to see detail for over two months.Also,all my observations took place on a clear dark sky.My telescope comes with three eyepieces(20,12,5,4mm).Finally,I am thinking of buying a barlow lens,although I am quite skeptical about that.Any answer would be greatly appreciated.I am dying to see the rings and the Jovian moons. I haven't tried to locate any other objects so far,my only focus as of now,is the planets and Saturn's rings. Uranus:A green small featureless disk.To be honest,I didn't expect anything more so I am happy with that.Same with Neptune. Saturn:Same with Jupiter.I haven't seen Titan or its rings yet.Just a disk,shining with a golden color.When I magnify it the most,it becomes a blur.Medium magnification,nothing.Small magnification,still nothing.It really disappoints me.I haven't seen any detail on the gas giants at all. Jupiter:Here is the real trouble.Having observed it more than a few times,I haven't seen the moons yet.Nor have I seen the GRS or cloud bends.Just a big white blur.When I magnify it to 175x,I see nothing.When I use the lowest magnification,I see nothing.When I use medium magnification,I still see nothing.Just a big blurry white disk ![]() Mars:No matter the magnification,it just seems like a small orange disk with no detail.I can barely make out the color Venus:I got to see its full phase,with not too much trouble Moon:I know it's not a planet,but I want to point out that there are no problems here.I get very detailed images of the moon and it exceeded my expectations no matter what lens I use Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this.I bought myself a Bresser Arcturus 60/700m not long ago and I have yet to see a sharp and clear image of the planets. r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub. Low-effort content such as those complaining about the weather (we get it, clouds are bad), simple questions that usually result in one line responses (these should be posted in our weekly discussion threads instead), general 'shitposting', memes, etc. Titles should be descriptive about what you're discussing/posting. Titles should not be 'clickbaity' nor self-deprecating - we're all here to learn so there is no point in calling yourself a 'noob' and/or putting yourself down. Concept art is not permitted, nor is content not relating to visual astronomy/telescopes. Images must be taken by you, with gear which you own - remote or professional services such as DSW or Hubble are not permitted. This enforces quality, encourages discussion, and benefits everyone. This includes your gear as well as any processing you did to the image. Images must have a top-level comment containing acquisition and processing details. Self promotion is only permitted to active members of the community. Not providing commentary, or posting content from a single source will be assumed to be attempts of driving traffic, which is not allowed here.
