I remember when i was probably about 7 yrs old looking inside the cover of my older brothers world atlas, a picture of the solar system which i would often gaze at wondering what it was all about and how these planets got there.
My dad gave me a 60mm zoom refractor when i was about 16 which i've just given to my 5 yr old son.
Moved to Brisbane at 25 for 5 yrs bought a tasco 114mm newt from cash coverters and always got up at odd hrs in the morning to observe lunar eclipse's and stuff. Then at 36 got my first serious scope, an 8" dob and the view blew me away.
I'm 38 now and in the last 2.5 yrs have spent a fortune on more gear and loving it.
So overall i've all been into astronomy from a young age but serious observing the last 2.5 yrs.
