I got my first telescope just after Halley's comet. There seemed to be many stores selling telescopes and I realised I want to look at the night sky.

I bought a Pentax 70mm refractor for $600! I then got really hooked when I first saw Omega Centauri.

Globular clusters are my favourite objects. Just amazing that stars appear so dense in clusters and yet are really light years apart.

I mainly look at the moon, globulars, Orion nebula, Saturn and Jupiter. The easy stuff for visual.

Interesting thread n posts.
