How do planets look Maksutov Cassegrain telescope on a 90 mm?
I recently bought a telescope and tried to see Jupiter and Mars, however, they just look like really small bright spots even 180x magnification. Is this how it supposed to look?
The planets are very small and far away. 180x is the most you can expect from a 90mm telescope. At 180x with a similar scope I saw the cloud belts of Jupiter and the moons, the polar caps of Mars, Saturn's rings and three brightest moons, and the phases of Venus. Certainly the images are small, but they are definitely bigger than the points. You need be patient and see details of the practice. I recommend trying a simple pencil sketch of what you see. I found this really helped me to see fine details.
