I was thinking about this last night for some odd reason and realized I never have.

Have you?

Only a couple of times through really old, unclear ones. Couldn't really make anything out with them.

Yeah, I had family who had a high quality one, you could see most of the inner planets clearly through it.

I had some weak telescopes back when I was a kid that I pretty much only used to look at the moon (these were the kind you get from retail stores so that's about all they were good for anyway). I have looked through an observatory's telescope before though to see Mars back when when it was at the closest point to Earth it will ever be.

Yeah, I have a few. One for lunar and solar peeping, one for planets and the biggest one for deep space objects.

Sure you can look up pictures online, but it doesn't have the same depth or clarity of color to it.

Yeah I was boring though and only looked at stars and the moon. No hot neighbors around where I grew up. :(

When I was a kid I think, but I couldn't see anything interesting, living in a polluted city sucks.
