    Everybody, at least once in their lives, should get the chance to see the moon and big planets through a good optical telescope. It's one thing to see pictures or videos. I mean they're great and everything, but when you see them yourself, with your own eyes, and know that there's nothing between you and what you're seeing besides a few pieces of glass, a mirror and space, is a completely different feeling!

      One of the most impressive sights is to see the Andromeda galaxy with your own eyes or small binoculars. It is the furtherst away thing one can see with eyes only. 2.5 mill lightyears. When light left it there was no humans on earth....You need clear, dark skies to see it. I was up in the Norwegians mountains one dark winternight when I saw it..

      When I was a young adolescent and had saved up enough money, I bought a Tasco 4.5" reflector telescope from Edmund Scientific. It was just a basic reflector that was limited to using slightly smaller, Japanese spec eyepieces, but it got the job done for me. We lived in an apartment building at the time. I had already known how to identify planets (they don't twinkle like stars) and I wanted to use the telescope ASAP. So I took it into the living room; the wide window there had the best view above the other buildings. I pointed the reflector at the one bright object that didn't twinkle... and it was Saturn! Very, very tiny, but the image was sharp and the rings could clearly be identified. I also noted two of its moons. Right out of the box and I was looking at Saturn!

    He even built his own equatorial mount using an engine block set in concrete.
    How times and tech have changed.

      Same! Was the only observation my dad was part of because I got a telescope as a birthday present. Think it was in 1996 or 1997. It was not clearly visible but it was enough to see a round ball surrounded by sth disc like. Because it was a cheap telescope it was very hard to keep focus. It had kind of wheel on a screw for fine adjustment. But the mounting at all was so unstable...but yeah kind of addicted since those days.

It was nice, but I eventually sold it and decided to view the Deep Space images taken by Hubble and the Planetary objects viewed by passing Space Probes. Hard to beat it.

    I've found that, for those people seeing the Moon for the first time ever IN A TELESCOPE, it literally "Knocks their socks off"!!!
    They never imagined you could see "so much detail" with a "small backyard telescope"!
    If the sky permits, we use from 200x right up to 350x (rarely!) And the view and images show some fantastic detail.

      The first time I viewed the moon through my cheap telescope (from my bedroom while in a moderate sized west coast city back when I was a youngish teenager) was awe inspiring. We were tight on money so a bigger fancier telescope, on a tripod, with powered following just wasn't in any budget. I used to dream a little bit about having a house out in the country, with a small domed enclosure (miniature version of what the big boys, universities and other well funded Astronomers had) able to rotate with my views... awww to dream big.

      Good luck with that. Unfortunately being an astronomer (I mean as a job) nowadays is more about feeding data to the computer telescope and than analize the results, you don't get to "phisically see" stuff like this, unless you own a little one for yourself. Also there's a lot of math involved, which can prove to be quite hard. But it's still beautiful to get to know what "space stuff you see in the sky" is about.

I've seen every planet including a tiny spec for Pluto. Sky & Telescope mag ran an article in the 90's on how to spot Pluto during it's closest pass to Earth. Loved most seeing 'globular clusters' which are a snow cone of stars in our very own galaxy. Thanks again.

    Tis ironic how many of the hundreds of individuals who stop by and ask questions as to what's going on and get a gander of the moon through my scope, are amazed by what they see. And in compele awe that they can see the moon during the day. I can't imagine that the general public doesn't know the moon is visable during the nighr and during the day.

      I used to bring my C11 to many public and private outreach events. Thousands of people have looked through the scopes I used to own. I would usually try to do things like globular clusters, or the ring nebula, when the smaller scopes usually were on the planets and double stars, or the brighter nebulae or open clusters. I would sometimes bring a 4" refractor for open clusters or the double cluster as it just looks so much better in a refractor.
      But m13 at 187x with a 67deg eyepiece, usually knocks the socks off of the public, even from a light polluted site.
      I once did a high profile event on Palomar mountain at the education center down the road from the 200", that had 200 attendees who came via charter bus. It was a really clear dark night and I was showing m13 at 200x with the 14mm explore scientific 100degree, that was an amazing view.

    I had a Meade 4 1/2 inch telescope with horizontal and vertical adjustments on a wooden telescope tripod back in the early 70’s as a kid in Dearborn, Michigan. Jupiter and its red spot was magical the first time I picked it out. Saturn came about a year later with the perfect clear winter moonless night. I used that telescope for nearly 40 years until my young sons got a hold of it and destroyed it. I need to get another one now they are gone out of the house, finally !

      It looks even better live, the eye makes more detail cos the brightness range is better than the video and you see more detail (especially when the planets are closest). A scope like that would cost a lot, though.

      @@barrysargent1213 This will make you buy one:
      My best telescope experience ever:
      I had an 8" Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain telescope with a tracker (but no pointer).
      Both Jupiter and Saturn were up that night and the "seeing" must have been about the best ever. And this is why. I home hacked a barlow out of a cardboard hand towel tube, a 50 mm camera lens and a few lenses from an old pair of binoculars (that I pulled apart). The barlow would have been many more x magnification (mag) than a barlow you can buy. You put the barlow between the scope and eyepiece. So my eyepiece was 10" higher off the scope. Most bought barlows raise the eyepiece only like 2" higher. lol With mine, the results were way better than I expected (wow factor). Jupiter was the size of a grapefruit (if viewed from desk) and the great red spot was nearly an inch big. lol It was "smoky" but still really sharp (especially with like 1000x mag). lol
      And Saturn was like a tennis ball size and the rings were like 8" diam (if viewed from a desk). And 3 dark rings inside cream rings. I would have only expected that sort of performance with a 25 ft diameter mirror BIG scope. It was an 8" diameter mirror scope. . lol
      At that mag I would not have been able to do it cos of earth's spin (making the image quickly split the scene). The scope came with a tracker (and when set up properly) it keeps track of the object (accurately). It was so good that Saturn was still in view after an hour. lol
      Get a Schmidt Cassegrain scope (8" or more) like the one in this video. You can't go wrong (except sell it like I did). Use Plossil eyepieces for planets cos they are SHARP (and the narrow view doesn't matter with planets). Mine were Mead Plossils used on the Celestron scope.
      Also Newtonians are a pain in the ass, too much fiddling (collimating etc.). Schmidt Cassegrains are sealed tight and don't require collimating and (cos they are sealed) they don't get dirty inside. And less than half the size as Newtonians. Also Cassegrains have way longer focal lengths (more mag than Newtonians). Planets need mag and Cassegrains have it.
