I have a 4” Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope. I bring it out whenever there’s something of interest in the sky. Every time I do my neighbors & their kids swarm me to look.

The images aren’t like NASA’s but that’s not the point. Seeing—-suspended in space—-planets, comets, nebulas, galaxies with your own eyes is a joyful experience. Personally knowing the sky intimately is a joy.
