Coincidentally, an article just appeared today in Discovery News entitled 10 ways to astronomically astound your friends and proceeds to show spectacular photos that even an experienced amateur could never take, much less show to observers, real time. It remains a challenge to tickle the intellectual imagination of civilians with words and analogies. That's about all we can do. OK, the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, maybe Andromeda are the only objects which reveal structure from small telescopes in light polluted urban areas.
Here's a link to the article referenced.
