I have been observing since late 1980 ( I am currently 36 years old) My first telescope was a Tasco 60mm refractor with a variable x15-x60 eyepiece. It was a piece of crap. It had no finder. The focuser was broken with in days of purchase and the tripod with in months. But with that scope I had my first views of M42, Jupiter and Saturn and it got me hooked on this great hobby for life.
I didn't start making a log of my observations until the 20 May 1995 when with my trusty Meade 200mm Starfinder 'carboard' Dob observed NGC 4755, Jewel Box in Crux.
