What can you see through this 127mm Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope?
With a relatively short 1250mm focal length and a light grasp 329 times that of the sharpest dark-adapted eye, the scope is capable of producing surprisingly bright wide-field images of the faint fuzzies outside the solar system nebulas, galaxies, open star clusters, and more. But those objects requiring high power and high contrast globular clusters, close binary star pairs, lunar and planetary images, etc. are not slighted in the least. Using optional eyepieces and/or a Barlow to boost the magnification, you can see subtle solar system details that are virtually invisible in smaller aperture scopes. You can study lunar craters, rilles, mountain ranges, and low contrast lunar ray detail. With reasonable seeing conditions, detail in Jupiters cloud belts and the Great Red Spot (actually closer in color to the Faint Pink Spot at this point in time) are visible, as are dusky markings on the face of Saturn and Cassinis division in Saturns brilliant rings.
