Saturn 6th stone from the sun.Light travels from the surface of the sun several hours and billions of miles to the to the surface of Saturn and it's moons and rings. It then reflects off whatever part it hits, and travels billions of miles back and several hours back to the earth. Where here it is focused down a tube and reflected to a secondary mirrow and then aimed to a place in the Meade Electronic Eyepiece just 1/16" x 1/16" square. On a telescope with no motorized mount it can be quite a challange.
