I remember the first time I saw Jupiter in a scope and it changed the way I viewed the night sky completely from that night on. I had seen pics in books and on TV too, but when I saw it myself first hand, as you say, with it's tiny moons looking like a minature Solar System, it hits home that it IS really just there in the night sky. The same night sky you've been looking at in the past without giving a second thought to the "big bright stars" actually being Planets with moons, etc. So I know what you mean Pat.
