Just wasted $89 on a spotter scope that can't even see Saturn's rings with clarity

Ordered that SVBONY scope everyone hypes on Amazon and the image was so blurry I could barely make out Jupiter as more than a bright dot, so what cheap scope actually works for planetary viewing without needing a second mortgage?

Did you adjust the focus ring all the way or just trust it out of the box?

Nah, just turned it on and shot. These lenses are calibrated at the factory for a reason. People overthink this stuff. Unless you're doing product photography or something hyper precise, the difference is probably invisible. I've got shots from day one that look just as sharp as anything I've messed with the focus ring on.
