After getting my first scope (70mm) the first object I looked at was either the moon, Saturn or Jupiter. Fantastic!
But when I looked at Orion nebula I was very disappointed. Not at all like the pictures in books (this was 1986 or 87).
I was 25yo but I didn't realise what was involved to get billowing pics of nebulas. So I thought I would need an 8" Celestron or Meade which were often advertised in National Geographic but the price was something like $3,000-$8000.
I used the Pentax 70mm for about 5 years then stopped for a while until my 40s.
