As a kid I got a toy telescope and used it to look at the moon, i always had a fascination with Telescopes. Unfortunately The cost and lack of money meant I didn't do anything till my 40's when Ebay meant buying from overseas made the hobby more appealing. I purchased a small mak 90 from Seben then progressed from there with a c8 then a 127 refractor from north group right up to my current setup a c9.25 and my orion ed80.
Costly hobby and thanks to this forum very rewarding.
One can only think how much more appealing the hobby would be for the young if it wasnt so expensive and the price gouging we encounter in Australia wasn't so prevalent.
