It's not my idea and I can't remember where I first saw it, so apologies for not giving credit, but...

The joy of amateur astronomy is not simply what you're seeing. It's understanding what you're seeing and how you're seeing it, and marvelling at the fact that you can see it so easily.

I love looking at Hubble images with crystal clarity and amazing detail that I'd never get out of my 12". But I still get the 12" out, and the reasons are completely different and it means so much more to me.
