See my tools page for a magnification calculator to work it out. Rough guide only – conditions and specs will affect this What size telescope should I get to see all the planets in our solar system? Here’s a guide: The following is a guide on what to look for when choosing the best planet telescope for you.Īperture Size: The aperture size is important but the average useful aperture size for viewing planets will differ with telescope type, e.g., reflector vs refractor, or Cassegrain, and the target planet. Things to consider when looking for a planet telescope The moons of the distant planets, Uranus and Neptune, are more challenging to find, but you might see them with a higher aperture telescope. Blanket of thick cloud - Venus through a telescope.Rings and the largest moons that are faintly seen at varying times - Saturn through a telescope.Colored bands and its moons - Jupiter through a telescope.Polar caps and major dark surface features - Mars through a telescope.Here are some features of planets to look for: Those are from high-powered space telescopes and not the detail you are likely to see through a home telescope. One thing…Don’t expect to see views of distant objects like the nebulae captured by NASA, which are amazingly beautiful images.
