I have always been a recreational star-gazer.
I have a Celestron with a variety of lenses, two Barlow 2X magnifiers and a pretty good back yard.
I love showing my neices and nephews objects in the night sky.
Most kids have not seen Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, or even the craters on the moon. My relative HAVE!
There was a comet that was visible back during one year in the early 90's that was visible withthe naked eye. With the telescope I could see the ice-ball that it was made of!
How many of us have seen objects in the night sky that we couldn't quickly identify?
I've seen the space station a few times, numerous satellites, and falling stars that looked more like fireworks that shooting stars.
