Since it was my turn to endure Shane West, I got to see A Walk To Remember myself tonight. I found out that my daughters left out a lot of the astronomy.

The main character built a dobsonian when she was 12, and she shows Saturn to her boyfriend, in the cemetary to avoid lights I guess. Later, he studies hard and builds her an even bigger one, in order to get a view of Hyakutake as it flies over--and the comet (not Hyakutake) does perceptably move as they view it. But, this movie had an unpainted sonotube in it.
