For those that were fortunate enough to observe the Shoemaker/Levy 9 impact, it is without doubt the most memorable thing you will ever see. That is a once in a several milleniums event and a large % of the current astronomical community never had the opportunity to see it.
Comet McNaught was spectacular. Bennetts' Comet was spectacular. Haleys Comet was a non event. Observing the rings of Saturn is spectacular. Observing the Enke Division in the rings is spectacular. Observing the 9 craterlets in Plato visually is spectacular. Observing the full length of the Alpine Rille is spectacular. Observing the radiating ejecta rays of Copernicus is spectacular.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I AM ASKING
I am interested in Deep Sky Telescope Observations only
Cheers,
