Very similar start to me. I was investigating my parents atlas when I was 7 and in the back it had a small section on Astronomy. One of diagrams was of the solar system and its origin. That moment I was hooked, it was 1976. In 1980 I got my first 'scope (previous post in this thread) and the rest is history.
