I have this exact same telescope. I've had it for years. I found Saturn by accident one day in my backyard shortly after getting this telescope. I set it up outside the moment the first star of the night appeared. Then the second one appeared not too far away from the first. I noticed it was not very round and upon focusing I discovered it was Saturn. I also found Jupiter completely by accident. Do you have the software that came with it? I never even used it.

@Risket

Nope, I bought my telescope from a surplus store & it doesn't have the software media or manual anymore. The software that I'm currently using is Starry Night. =]

What was the setup?

It's only point & shoot.

Hi,

You mean no eyepiece?

@ParaglidingManiac

There's an eyepiece when we took the vid. We used a 12.5mm EP. =]

Shaky?! It's like you were falling down the stairs with it! :D

Good job at the end! ;D
