Hi guys, i got a Skywatcher 8 inch dobsonian a few days ago and finally took it outside yesterday! i was able to see venus and jupiter, venus was just a bright dot (obviously lol) but jupiter, i was able to see some bands on it, but not the moons and it also wasnt really that magnified, i was using a 12mm lens so im confused, if anybody has any tips/suggestions for lenses please tell me :D

im new to telescoping and want to photograph my views so i also got a camera, if anyone has some good camera mounts for it please tell me
