Can i see the rings of saturn and cloud bands of jupiter and the great red spot with the starsense explorer 114lt?

I use the 25mm for best views, but I finally tried the 10mm on Jupiter and it worked to enlarge clearly. Although no color or bands. I can see 3 of it's 4 moons. It's good to get with others and I've found lots of info on cloudynights dot com. Although, it depends so much on so many things, like light-pollution, atmospheric conditions not just of Earth, but of other planets. Most folks recommend reading, reading and more reading on the skies so that first, we know where things are, things we are likely to be able to see. Don't give up, the more you learn by doing, the more things you will see. My opinion is the Starsense 130 DX AZ is a good beginner telescope, but it really hasn't given me more than I got with another that was 179.00. I love the app though, it is fun, but I also realize I need to make adjustments and learn more about eyepieces, the best places to view from etc. Star Parties, I pray we get past this Covid thing so we can really gather again and learn, in person, with others.

Can I take pictures with this telescope?

It is indeed possible to take pictures with this telescope, but you will need a second phone or camera and an adapter for either smartphones or your camera. The camera that attaches to the dock and uses the StarSense Explorer App is not looking through the telescope at all.

Does cellphone app work offline?

Yes, you need cell or wifi to download the app but after that it has a calibration that you perform to find position. They were smart enough to make sure that you could enjoy the scope and app while standing in a field in the middle of nowhere.

Are you able to use the code that comes with the telescope for the app on more than one phone?

The code is good for five phones
