In this case, with the Perinoculars-Ora telescope, you'll be able to see the difference between what planets look like and what stars look like. Planets have a discernible disk. You can see a disk, while stars kind of look like pinpoints. So you can point it at a nearby star. You'll see it at kind of a pinpoint. You look at Neptune, and you'll see a circle. So there you go. And of course, Saturn, it has its rings. So there you go. Take a look. For dwarf plants, we've got Ceres. Ceres is rising about 8.30 PM for this week. Ceres can be spotted low to the south around midnight when it is highest in the sky. And then we've got Stetus shining at magnitude 7.8. And then we've got Pluto. Pluto is rising about 4.30 in the afternoon this week. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the late evening when it is highest in the sky to the south, probably about 10, 11 PM under dark skies. Right now, you've got the dark sky conditions with the moon in the early crescent phase. Couple of days it's going to be washing out that night sky. So I know there's some people out there actually trying to spot Pluto. So good luck with that. We've got Pluto in the constellation of Capricornus shining at magnitude 15.2. As always, good luck at spotting Neptune, Ceres, and Pluto. A large telescope and dark skies will be needed.
