Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope Kit for Adults & Families - Powerful Beginner Astronomy Stargazing of Moon, Planets & Deep-Sky Objects

Q: What can you see and in how much detail? Jupiter? Saturn? Saturns moons?

Depends on the magnification. It comes with a 1.25 inch (48x) and a Barlow so you can max out at 96x. The scope can handle up to about 300x as it is a six inch diameter. With the lenses provided you can easily see Jupiter and four of its moons. On a clear night with higher magnification I would be surprised if you couldn't see the storm. Honestly, for its price and value, you will not find a better scope. The 8inch will max out at around 400x magnification but I liked the greater mobility of the 6. I haven't looked for Saturn but I probably need to buy a few more lenses to see it well.

Q: Can you use a cell phone mount on the xt6

Yes , I've used one on mine since last year.

Q: Does this telescope come with a usable lens besides the X2 Barlow lens so you can start using it right away after calibration? Thnx ...

Mine came with a 2x Barlow and a 25mm plosial. I since purchased the xt10 model but I still use the xt6 because it still pulls in enough light to see Andromeda

Q: Does this come with the tri pod?

It comes with the stand you see on the picture. It is very stable and a great setup.
