I had my first view of Saturn through a 50mm spotting scope in Malaya in 1966,then along with watching a recording of man landing on the moon on TV, (I did not see it live as I was listening to it on radio from a jungle dropping zone) in 1969, I had lots of interest in astronomy but did not follow up.
Bought my first scope in july 1986 and have been an active observer ever since.
