1. My first ever viewing of saturn through my old 8" Newt.
2. My first ever viewing of 47 Tuc through same scope.
3. Witnessing a fireball that lit up the landscape for, oh... say a 3k radius, with a bright blue light (similar colour to a welding arc), then then hearing a hissing/sizzling sound as the fragments broke up and went orange. (That made the hairs stand up on end!)
4. Viewing the moon with my first ever scope - a little non-descript refractor on an alt-az mount and seeing detail.
