Since Christmas of 1998 for me, when I bought myself (with my dad's money of course - christmas and all) a 4.5" newtonian.
I got hooked when I saw Haleys Comet in 86 (think it was 86) when I was 7. Then got hooked even more so when my uncle bought a 8" LX200 sometime in the mid 90's.
It's been continuous upgrades since 1998 so all the one phase. I'm too young to have had more than one "phase" I guess. I suppose if I were given a telescope back in 86 I would've, but that didn't happen much to my disgust at the time!
Roger.
