My first memory is standing next to my father watching Sputnick pass over Melbourne, He explained to me the physics behind it's ability to move as it did. I did not quite understand (OK I did not at all understand). He gave me his WW2 binocularrangefinder (you could see over your cover without getting your head blown off type) They were marginally better than the naked eye at night. I soon moved on to a pair of 'modern' binoculars.
In the seventies finally got around to building an 8" F7 Newtonian.All was built by my own hand!
So all in all about fifty years. I am still trying to get better and understand a bit better.
I still dont need a go to. I need a cloud go away!
