Dave Herron asked:


I got a Meade ETX-60 refracting telescope for Christmas. The scope included 9, 12, and 25 mm lenses. Should I be able to see Saturn clearly with this scope? If so, what am I doing wrong? No matter which lens I use, when I get it focused in, it seems like I am looking at the same little pin point of light that I could see with my naked eye.

How is the eye similare to the refracting telescope?
