I'm going to draw your attention to something surprising.

Take a nice chair. Set it up outside next to the telescope.

Look at the moon.

For a while.

Like, an hour.

It gets more and more amazing the longer you look at it.

It doesn't look like a two dimensional photo. It looks like a sphere, in a huge void. You can see mountains. You can see craters. You can see how the sun hits and casts shadows.

Just sit and watch it for a while.

Then, for interest try to draw the landmarks you are seeing, by eye, without a reference book.

Its really quite something.
