Yeah, I occasionally get the disappointment at the eyepiece when friends/family see my photo's and it doesn't match up with what they can physically see in the telescope, despite my best (short) efforts to explain averted vision and the reasons why we can't see this stuff.

So lately I've just taken to attaching my DSLR and cranking up the ISO to 12800 for a 50 sec exposure. That get's the detail and colours visible on my small LCD on the back of the camera. The screen pivots as well on the 600D so that comes in handy

Once they see a small picture of the object they usually understand how it all comes together
