When I was about 10 asked Dad questions about the planets mainly, and it grew from there. When I was 13 saw a advert in the Sunday Mail from Astro-Optical Supplies (1970). Many letters to a fro before I decided to buy a kit 8" Newtonian=$160.00. Made my first mount out of 3/4" water pipe.

Always been in the country, so skies are very dark. Here I am 49 and still enjoying it.
