Thanks Phil but I wonder how to locate the Jupiter and Saturn. I can
easily locate Mars next to the Moon but I don't know how to focus on
the Jupiter and Saturn. Can you give me some help.

Also after reading other responses I found that I may need to buy an
accessories set, such as this one from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...761364-8578552
That means I would spend a total of 260 + tax for the scope as I got
this scope from the Costco deal (as most people did). Is 260 worthy
for the Nexstar 114 along with the accessories kit listed above? Or I
may get a scope with better quality and results among the same price
range? Please advise and thanks for your help.

Hi:

I just bought the Nexstar 114 GT and wonder how I can use it to view
the Polar Cap on Mars. I tried to use the 10mm eyepiece and can only
see Mars as a white source of light that is about the size of the a
pencil top. Can someone provide me some instructions on how to set it
up? Now I can use it to see the surface of moon; However, the
instruction said I should see Jupiter or even the Saturn ring with
this scope. So I guess seeing the Polar Cap with this sope should
have no problem.

The polar cap is now getting VERY tiny. Seeing the rings of Saturn and
the moons of Jupiter (and bands on Jupiter) should be much easier than
the SPC of Mars.
