Most rare astronomical events are ultimately more meaningful for their historical value than for their visual flair. Once you've seen the shots from the space probes and Hubble (to say nothing of movie special effects), if all you're really interested in is a fabulous picture, you're bound to be disappointed with what you see in a telescope. But there are other compensations for direct observing.
