I just pointed my new (to me) spotting scope up at the moon on 60x and WOW!!! At 38yrs this was the first time looking at the moon through magnification. Definitely will not be the last.

Take a look at Jupiter some clear night and you'll see the moons traveling across it.
Galileo would have loved looking through that clear a glass.

I like doing lunar photography. 600mm lens on a Nikon D3400.

Really neat looking at objects that are far away up close.
(of course the full resolution image looks so much better)

Put it on a tripod and enjoy watching the jiggle.

@Dyjital , if you haven't allready, take a trip down to crater lake National Park sometime it's full moon & forecasted to be clear sky's.

Crazy oppurtunities for a photographer (I'd imagine).
