The Raptor 61 isn’t ideal for visual astronomy due to its cost, fast focal ratio, and minuscule aperture. However, if equipped with a good star diagonal and eyepieces, it’ll show you the phases of Mercury and Venus, the moons of Saturn and Jupiter, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s cloud belts, along with a wealth of detail on the Moon. However, the ice giant planets are merely star-like dots, with no features, obvious disk, or moons visible. The Raptor can give you pleasant views of open star clusters, but again, it’s hardly the best scope for the task. Globular clusters and galaxies are faint unresolved fuzzy patches and planetary nebulae are simply too small and dim to observe well.
