Unreal Matt!
I was an only child.
When I was young I'd read a few pages from the World Book Encyclopedia - Childcraft Vol 4 "Earth and Space" almost nightly before bed.
Fell in love with all things astro.
At around seven I saw a beautiful 40mm Tasco "built in Japan" refractor on a nice short chrome tripod at our local camera store.
Couldn't wait to save up and buy the scope.
Blew me away when I first set eyes on the moon through my little Tasco.
And now here I am.
Handed down my 40mm Tasco to my eldest son as a keeps-sake and got myself a couple of nice refractors, a SCT and a camera or two.
