The night the moon looked fake through my 8 inch Dobsonian
Had one perfect night last Thursday where the sky was dead clear and the air was still. I pulled out my old scope and Saturn's rings were so sharp I could see the Cassini Division without straining. Anyone else have those nights where you just sit there staring for way longer than you planned?

Used to think it was overblown but yeah, that's the magic right there.

Oh man that sounds incredible! I had a similar night last winter where I was just trying to grab a quick look at Jupiter but ended up sitting on my freezing porch for like two hours watching the moons move.

Two hours on a freezing porch watching moons move? That's dedication (or maybe just really good views and poor decision making). At least you didn't get frostbite, right?
