I reckon I need two filters stacked with my 9.25! Even with a filter the full moon is a bit brain melting.

There is nothing like that first look is there, I love the universal reaction from the handful of people who have looked through my scope as a first timer. I usually try for something visually spectacular like the Orion nebula and start counting when they first look to the eyepiece. Usually I don't get past three before "Oh wow" is heard or something very like it.
