I used to love to go out at night with my 10" reflector and see a point of light magnified to... a point of light. For variety, I would look at binary stars to see... two points of light. Sometimes, I would search for nebulae and galaxies to see... a fuzzy patch of light. Optical astronomy is such fun. Now, alas, the light pollution is so severe that all my points of light and fuzzy patches are severely washed out. So I sold my telescope and took up scuba diving. It was all fish and coral, fish and coral, until a few years ago. Now it's no fish and fuzzy white patches that used to be coral. The former coral looks like nebulae and galaxies through light pollution in my 10" reflector.
