What can you see? Most astronomers trace their love of the night sky to a first look at Saturn through a
telescope just like the ones in this section. Any entry-level scope will let you see craters on the Moon, the
rings of Saturn, the cloud belts of Jupiter and its moons, plus countless star clusters, double stars, nebulas and
more. Remember, low power is best, and the larger the aperture (scope diameter), the brighter those deep sky
treasures will appear. The astrophotographs in this catalog do not represent actual views through a telescope.
