Subject: [Leica] Leica lens turned into a telescope - can it be done?

I have used the Ocular with my 350mm f4.8 Telyt and it is a 28X
telescope.  If I add the 2X converter, it becomes 56X.  With
this, I can just begin to see the rings of Saturn.

However, if you just want to see Saturn's rings, it is much
cheaper to buy a decent astronomical telescope which will be a
much better job.
