This is the part where most beginners are misled. You will be able to get a glimpse of some amount of distinguishable detail on large planets and their moons, a great amount of detail on our Moon, and bright deep space objects with tons of stars surrounding them. Here is a list of what you can see and what you can’t see with Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ.
Jupiter will show its stripes and its Galilean Moons. The Great Red Spot is visible in ideal condition. You can easily get the unique brown-beige-red colors of the planet.
Saturn shows it Rings and its largest moon Titan. The yellow-green color of the planet is clear.
Mars will appear as a bright red disk. You can get some surface detail as black and white stains in ideal conditions and with a premium eyepiece.
Venus appears as a bright yellow disk. Its phases are observable.
Neptune and Uranus appear as tiny blue dots.
Mercury is barely observable. It appears as a tiny dot.
The Moon looks detailed with countless craters and mountain ranges. The Moon is great for close-ups with any telescope or binocular.
Deep space performance is admirable. You are limited to the brighter spectrum of the Messier Catalog but combined with the 2″ focuser and 130mm aperture; the field view is delightfully wide and detailed.
Some of the ideal targets to observe are the Pleiades, Hercules, Orion, and Andromeda.
