I got to play around with a very simple telescope since being a child, which is still around in my parents house - never enough to see much of the planets, so this was always a bit disapointing. But what was and is always stunning, are the details of the moon ... (you need a filter, though). You can see the shades of the crates moving for example.

Oh - and sunspots. Meaning you turn your telescope around and project the picture of the sun.

But one day soon, I am going to order a real one. (But I also always wanted to have my own observatory. And I guess, if I have that, .. I can't wait for my own space based telescope. Ah yes, the greed ..)

Anyway, enjoy what you have :)
