Default Good Place to buy lenses

The first link will show you Saturn as seen in amateur telescopes. Under
ideal seeing, for brief glimpses you will see it better than this, but you
will see no more color than this...

The larger photo is beyond what you will see in amateur scopes, but notice
that there is no real "color" in the heavily saturated color sense, in
this image, either...


Our newts do considerably better than these images in good, but not
exceptional, seeing. We are disappointed if the Cassini Division is not
sharply defined.
