[John W (John Wilkinson)]

My first astronomy book was a 1965 edition of "The sky observers guide" by Mayall et al. Published by Golden press, NY. I was about 12 at the time - don't know why I got into astronomy then but I have been ever since. It was a handy book and I still have a copy. My first scope (also about 1965) was a Yosco? 4" reflector on an Alt Az mount (it was actually a good scope). It cost 35 aussie pounds and took me a few years to pay it back to my parents. Cheers, John W.
