What planets can you see with a telescope?
Medium and large telescopes will provide views of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, even in light-polluted areas.
What is the range of telescope?
By spectrum
| Name | Telescope | Wavelength |
|---|---|---|
| Far infrared | – | 30 μm – 450 μm |
| Infrared | Infrared telescope | 700 nm – 1 mm |
| Visible | Visible spectrum telescopes | 400 nm – 700 nm |
| Ultraviolet | Ultraviolet telescopes* | 10 nm – 400 nm |
Can I see galaxies with a telescope?
Galaxies are some of the most distant objects we can observe. While most planets, stars, and nebulae are usually pretty nearby to us, we can observe galaxies that are millions of light-years away. Even if a galaxy is bright, the most you might typically see is its core with a 4-inch telescope.
Can you see moon with telescope?
The moon can always be readily observed. It always looks spectacular whether you’re using binoculars or a telescope. It never looks precisely the same no matter how often you view it, and can be observed even on hazy or partially cloud-covered nights.
Where is Hubble now?
Download “Observatory” information as a PDF Launched on April 24, 1990, aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, Hubble is currently located about 340 miles (547 km) above Earth’s surface, where it completes 15 orbits per day — approximately one every 95 minutes.
What can you see with a 90mm telescope?
A 90mm telescope will provide you with a clear view of the Saturn along with its rings, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter with its Great Red Spot. You can also expect to see stars with 12 stellar magnitude with a 90mm telescope.
Can you look at Sun through telescope?
Don’t ever look directly at the Sun through a telescope or in any other way, unless you have the proper filters. Or, if you have your own telescope, you will need to obtain a solar filter. There are even solar telescopes online, which you can access via the web to observe the Sun.
What can you see with 700mm telescope?
With a 70mm telescope, you will easily be able to see every planet in the Solar System. You will also be able to take a great look at the Moon and clearly distinguish most of its recognizable features and craters. Mars will look great.
What can I see with a 130mm telescope?
130mm (5in) to 200mm (8in) or equivalent b) Stars: double stars separated by about 1 arc second in good seeing, and some faint stars down to magnitude 13 or better. c) Deep Sky Objects: hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies (with hints of spiral structure visible in some galaxies).
