With the 6mm eyepiece, you'll also begin to see Jupiter's gas bands. With the provided eyepieces Saturn can be seen as a tiny disc and you'll be able to make out the rings around it, but not distinguish between individual rings. However, better equipment is needed for observing the planets in greater detail. It means that it provides bright images of the Moon, planets, and even wide-field celestial bodies like nebulae and star clusters. The focal ratio of the StarBlast 4.5 is f/4. Using both, the 2x Barlow and the zoom eyepiece, you'll get maximum performance. You jump from one power to another, thus making it very child-friendly. It's convenient because you don't need to refocus it when the object moves out of view. The obvious solution would be to invest in better eyepieces, but instead of buying many of them, we recommend getting the Orion 7.2-21.6mm zoom eyepiece. Eyeglasses wearers will have a hard time here. However, the narrow aperture of the 6mm eyepiece could be uncomfortable to look through at such high magnifications. You'll be able to see Saturn's rings without much effort and Jupiter's gas bands will appear as faint stripes. Combining the Barlow lens with the 6mm eyepiece will give you the largest view.

Our suggestion would be to buy additional lenses and/or a 2x Barlow lens to maximize the potential of the StarBlast 4.5. Although, the Galilean moons will be visible as four bright dots around the planet. With the 6mm eyepiece, you can begin to see Saturn's rings, but you probably won't be able to make out Jupiter's gas bands. Jupiter and Saturn, the two gas giants, will look tiny. However, they are not ideal for planet observations. You can see Moon's craters and mountain ranges very well and with great detail.
