Whats the best one you cna buy that you can see space station clearly (I guess it has to move automatically or lock), or see saturn rings, say if you had $500 budget?

This telescope will allow you to make out one big ring around Saturn, but not individual bands. You certainly won't see the Giant Red Spot. But the fun first thing that you should see is the Galilean moons whizzing around Jupiter. On successive nights you'll see they've changed position. Io orbits in 1.8 days, so will move from one side of Jupiter to the other each night. The other 3 inner moons are also pretty zippy, so the alignment of the 4 moons changes nightly.
It's great at this price for looking at the moon. Using it on the trip had me wanting to get something more powerful at some point.

I found that the scope itself isn't half bad optically, it's the included eyepieces that they cut costs on and aren't really that good. I put one of my old Meade Super Plossls Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl
I found that the scope itself isn't half bad optically, it's the included eyepieces that they cut costs on and aren't really that good. I put one of my old Meade Super Plossl eyepieces on it and the scope suddenly became much better. Of course, a good single high quality eyepiece can exceed the price of the rest of this kit....
