You are right about good experiences from the backyard.
After leaving the sunshine coast the other day, I pull out the little Astroscan for some friends we stayed with out Spingwood way in Brisbane.
Its always a thrill for first time observers to see Saturn, Jupiter & M42.
Even with a small appeture scope, it highlights the fact that the best scope to have is the one that you can get the most use from.
Hard to beat a 2 minute set up time.
For those not familiar with the Astroscan the photo's from the "Mapleton night"
