It has been said that beginner telescope observers often look only for 15 seconds, on average, at an object. And of all the objects in the sky only Jupiter, Saturn, the Orion nebula, the Pleiades and the Moon (for N. hemispherians) are the main targets (mostly by being bright and easily findable). The...
