Mine as a kid In Double Bay in Sydney near the famous Messengers Wharf..a friend had a small 60mm Trashco..looked at the moon through it.. and that was it ; hooked!
Parents purchased the Larousse Encyclopedia of Astronomy for me ..a big book, with a spectacular image of Messier 31 on the cover added to that...
Yes my own 60mm Trashco came soon after ..loved it!
