My first excursion into astronomy was 42 years ago. I was given camping binoculars to use in my foray into scouting (Boy Scouts USA). My first purchase was a beanie for my head, and a pillow to lay on while staring up into the night sky through the binoculars.
Then, after way too many years, of way too many adult responsibilities, I upgraded to a Celestron 130 Astromaster to try and get serious about the hobby. Still have it but don't use it much at all. What has really cemented my interest was the most recent purchase of a Celestar C8.
