Fortunately, thanks to plenty of research I knew what to expect before my first scope arrived, but it is easy to see where this perception of what can be expected when looking through a telescope comes from. Whille the planets and moon never fail to impress, deepsky objects I have shown to non-astronomers do not tend to get anywhere near the same positive reaction.
