I have always been more into the imaging
side of the hobby, but I will never forget the view through my 180EDT the
night that Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted Jupiter. We had the scope out
that night, but I had totally forgotten about the comet. I had just pointed
the scope at Jupiter to give my wife something interesting to look at.
When she looked through the eyepiece she asked what the black specs were
in the clouds. At that point I immediately remembered about the comet.
It was an amazing treat to be able to watch it "live".
