The first night I used my FC100DL up at Yass (when I bought it) and saw Mars as it was closing in on opposition. That was the first night I’d ever seen Mars as anything more than a red fuzzy blob (my main scope before that was a 10” LX200 that I don’t believe had the word “acclimation” in its vocabulary. Seeing the polar ice caps and large scale detail. Was the first night I’d seen the GRS on Jupiter and the first night I’d ever properly got a clean split (non fuzzy) with the Cassini Division.
The second was a few months back seeing Carina through a 32” scope, looked like a Hubble image!
