Like many of us here I have had friends around and shown them saturn, Jup etc in my dob....The WOW factor is high but alas very few repeat visits... I just think you either take to astronomy straight away or not at all sometimes....
When my young fella was 12 he used to spend hours with me outside which gave me great pleasure thinking he was as interested as I was in the heavens...
But now that he is almost 15 and 'all grown up'
all he is interested in is MSN, Chicks and how many Nissan GTR's he thinks he will own...
As for the wife she wont go outside when the temp dips below 15 C..
So I guess Im on my own.....and of course my 4 legged friend...
