Whenever I drag out my 8 inch dobsonian and have people look at the moon (they don’t care for the nebulae or andromeda, not very exciting unless you are already into those things), the one thing that always surprises them is just how often you need to move the telescope to stay in sight.
Having people watch the moon zip through the view is easily my favorite thing about sky watching.
Too bad the stars actually move (or more actually the earth rotates) so you need to constantly adjust the telescope
