My brother had this telescope and I can't find the manuel for it but I think it is a ETX 70 that is what the lens says. The part I am having trouble with is...

70mm is very small. The Moon will look good, you'll see the rings of Saturn and maybe the Cassini division on good nights, and the cloud bands and satellites...

The ETX-60BB is a small scope for casual views of stars, moon, and planets, but not at high magnification. The 350mm focal length is the distance from the...
I'd get a reflector ("Newtonian") telescope. You get a lot more aperture for the dollar than with a reflector, and that's the main factor determining what the...
For the cheapest views of the planets try one of the cheap 8" dodsonians. You should be able to pick one up for qbout $400. compared to the ETX 60. You will...
