• The StarSense Explorer 102mm Refractor Telescope has a Limiting Stellar Magnitude of +12.5. Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a magnitude of about +8.2, which is well within the range of being visible in this telescope.

• Saturn has more than 100 moons. Under good viewing conditions, You can probably see 2 or 3 of them with this scope. They will look like dim stars; you won't know they are moons unless you compare their positions over time. If you're interested in the RINGS of Saturn, you can see that they exist with this scope, but you won't see any color or detail.
