How is it possible that on the one hand :
I see Jupiter and Saturn as big white dots with very few details (just guessing cloud belts on Jupiter and just seeing Cassini division in Saturn rings) with a Vixen LVW13 mm lens (x154), and
on the other hand :
I see wonderful photos in different reviews taken from the same SCT LX200 8" f10 but with so much colors, much bigger and mainly much more details ?

Is it normal or is there something wrong with my SCT or place of observation.

Thx for any hints

Chris
