Why do planets appear so small?

Stellina is a telescope mainly adapted to deep sky objects: galaxies, clusters, nebulae… The telescope has a focal length of 400mm, which is too small to make the observation of planets interesting. Unfortunately, there is currently no material to observe everything at once. We made this choice to allow the user to observe the largest number of objects.

The planets are still available in the catalog of objects. You will be able to distinguish the satellites and bands of Jupiter, as well as the rings of Saturn.

* Comets, asteroids and solar photography will be available soon.
