My interest in astronomy started when I was 8 years old. My father woke me early one frosty winter morning to see this bright glowing greenish blue streak of light, Comet Ikeya–Seki c/1965. I would have stayed up till dawn looking at it but it was really cold and my mother made me go back inside the house. It was clouded out the rest of the time it would have been visible so I only saw it the one time. Never had any money as a kid so had to wait till I got my first real job to get a telescope some 20 years later, an 8" f6 cave newt on a motorized portable pier mount, still have it in my collection.
