Nothing is more shocking in astronomy than the first look at Saturn through a telescope; It is really like the picture, even better. I mean it really exists and it is done like that, it is not an invention of Walt Disney's. Visually the planet is the best showpiece in the whole sky and it is still my favourite even after many times.
