...you've seen using your own "backyard" telescope?
For me, in order, are:
1) Jupiter's Great Red Spot and Jupiter's four largest moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto,
2) Saturn's rings and its largest moon, Titan,
3) The cloud around the middle "star" in Orion's sword in the Orion constellation which is not actually a star but a massive nebula that only appears to be a star when viewed by the naked eye.

Can someone photoshop that couple at the Coldplay concert inside a telescope view?

The vulva for sure.
Some say vagina but they’re wrong.

The cheese aspect of our very own moon stupifies me

Galactic filaments. Travel and speed of light and how distance is viewed. The new planet we just discovered organic signatures on

It's definitely Jupiter and its moons for me. Never fails to blow me away.

It's very subtle, but with a nice scope, I can look at the finer details of The Pleiades for ages...

I like deep sky astrophotography. Nebulas in particular. I took this last week from my front yard.
