A memory from my first evening with my telescope
I bought a small telescope years ago. I have used it mostly for viewing the Moon and the planets, and to a lesser extent stars and galaxies.
This photo is one I found on the web. It is of the crater Petavius. On my very first viewing of the Moon through my telescope, I actually saw a meteorite land in this crater!
I took that incident as "welcome to the world of astronomy!"
