Most importantly, never point this telescope at or even near the Sun. This 80mm apo refractor comes with a 2-inch Crayford-style dual-speed focuser. The focuser is specially designed to provide you with the most precise and crisp view of the object you are observing. It is a great choice for everyone who is interested in astrophotography.

How big of a scope do I need to see Jupiter?

Also the scope has erect image optics – generally not good as they are unnecessary and so can only subtract from the result. First get a plossl of about 10-12mm focal length – forget the barlow, actually forget any barlow. 12mm will give 75x and that is easily enough the see Jupiter.

When is the best time to view Jupiter through a telescope?

The best time to view Jupiter through your home telescope is when it is at opposition from the sun in the sky (from our point of view). This means that Earth & Jupiter’s orbit briefly “sync” up on the same side of the sun.
