Very true Suzy.
One persons aberration can be anothers elation.

I remember one starparty visitor who brought his own 7x50 binocular which he insisted was easily revealing the four separate main component stars of Orion's Trapezium (a feat requiring the visual acuity of the Bionic Woman).
A suspicion was confirmed as I looked through the horribly misaligned barrels. Everything had separate components.
The kaleidescopic view made me nauseous, but the excited man was perfectly content to continue with his 'bonus' abundance of stars.
