Is a 350x magnification on a telescope powerful enough to see stars?

You don't need magnification to see stars. In fact, you don't even need a telescope.Go outside on any clear night, move away to a really dark spot, far away from city lights,and you'll see thousands of them, just with your eyes.But there are a lot more thousands of stars that are too dim for your eyes to detect.If you want to see those, you need something to make them look brighter, and it's nottoo hard to find one. The way they work is: They take all the starlight that hits somethingthe size of a saucer, or a basketball, or a hula-hoop, or a round trampoline, or a kiddy-pool,then focuses it down into a spot that's small enough to fit through the pupil of your eye.That's called "light gathering", and that's what a telescope does to let you see stars thatare too dim to see on your own, with your bare eyes.
