No probs Ken
If you have any other questions give me a yell.
(I think expectation management is the most important thing tbh) - set against the context of how far the light has travelled, seeing anything is pretty amazing.
For the uninitiated tho jupiter, saturn and the moon are the headliners.
Looking at star clusters is nifty too, but being prepared to be cold and spending a fair bit of time trying to work out if what you're seeing is what you think it is, is the main challenge.
Galaxies and nebulae are generally underwhelming to anyone brunged up on hubble images (no colour, very little observable detail - very pale and ephemeral). But really cool conceptually...
A ten year old may disagree...
