My first telescope was a Tasco 4.5" reflector on a manual EQ mount bought from Grace Bros (I think) maybe 25 years ago. It came with 2 x 0.96" eyepieces and not much else. I had no idea how to line up the finder with the scope so fussed around and managed to point it all at the brightest star that I could find one early evening. It turned out to be Saturn. As you can imagine, I was immediately hooked from that point until now.
