a year an a half ago,
8" F/6 Skywatcher newtonian pointed at saturn... I was actually looking through the 25mm eyepiece and just scanning around the sky aimlessly, all of a sudden, a super bright relatively small odd shaped object... I swapped out the 25mm for a 10mm and a 2x barlow. After doing that, I was blown away... I quicky ran inside, got everyone to come out side and made them look... everyone thought it was a trick of some sort... that some how I was deceiving them.. I was just as gobsmacked... I could not believe it... I was seeing another planet with my own eye...
Amazing experience.. Absolutely amazing...
Suffice to say, I've been hooked in astronomy since day one.
