With new Eyepieces, saw Saturn. Was pleased with 9mm eyepiece. Saturn looked very big. also saw couple of its satelites.
Saw Mars but other than glowing bright dot did not see any details.
Yesterday tried seeing the Venus but no phases were seen.
Day before yesterday checked the moon with new eyepieces. The crates looked very big. Held the i-phone infront of eyepiece and shot the video. Uploaded it to facebook. Amazing results!
Read about the orbital times of planets.
Mecury - 87 days
Venus - 225 days
Mars about 2 years to complete one circle
Jupiter about 12 years
and Saturn about 30 years
