Yes, I wonder how guys like Galileo managed to see so much of Jupiter as like you said, it moves across a telescope of any power before you can make out much.

I might go out with a 22X spotting scope tho you can’t make out much detail with it. It is a high quality ED glass scope and I can make out the rings of Saturn tho it still appears tiny.

Not much light pollution in 1615 Venice.
