Hi i am new to this forum so i apologize if I've posted this in the wrong place.
I have brought my first telescope:
http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/telescopes/celestron-skyprodigy-130.html
I have a puzzling problem though witch I am sure u guys will know the answer to.
I paid a lot of money for this scope and the clarity is amazing but the size of planets is miniscule Jupiter looks like a tiny orange dot with even smaller specs of light with are 4 of its moons i have seen people with less powerful scopes get much bigger images of planets even Mars and venus were just tiny red and purple colored dots you can only just make out there spherical planets I am using a 9mm lens.
Do i need a better one or is it a case of calibrating the whole scope from camera to mirrors ?
id really appreciate some guidance as I am really frustrated and don't know who to ask not many people where i live know anything about it I am in the uk.
the only thing i can see clearly and very large is the moon id love to see some galaxys but haven't bothered as I am sure i won't be able to at the moment :(
