SATURN! for me.
I had the most wonderful opportunity years ago when I took my scope (Genesis) over to a friends party, bonfire, BBQ etc. (mainly 20-30 year old Uni grads) and Saturn and Jupiter were brilliantly high. Although reluctant at first because I thought it might seem a bit too 'nerdy', they swayed me to set up the scope. The views of the gas giants floored everyone, period! Best of all, it was wondrous to witness the reactions of people who got their first view through a good telescope: "OMG, that's awesome...", "I'll never forget that in my whole life..." etc. etc. They simply couldn't believe it, for what they just thought were just typical bright stars turned into living globes with subtle planetary/weather detail... Fox!
