I just remembered another thing I bought... eclipse glasses for the Transit of Venus and several solar eclipses after that.
I don't remember the exact time I looked at planets and go wow I'm going to do this for the rest of my life, but a total solar eclipse (even clouded out) was something else altogether--the sky getting dark, birds confused, sunset colours etc.
Transit of Venus was amazing in that it won't happen again in a lifetime!
I think it was solar that really got me interested at first, before I moved to far, far more dimmer objects. I'm rediscovering solar now after playing with a few solar scopes.
