Asked by: Constance
The Scope has a very small Objective. So adding magnification won't help. Ideally you should go with a larger objective scope to actually see Planets. It also all depends on if you have no Light Pollution too.

question

What software does this come with?
Asked by: Anonymous
It was a year ago I bought this. I dont remember it coming with any software. Check the manufacturer website. Being a tech geek I would be inclined to view any software that came with it. So Im strongly on the side of it not coming with software when I purchased it.
