Back in 1976 I was six years old, in year one at school and living in Mt Druitt, western Sydney. I discovered that my oldies had an encyclopedia set with an Atlas. In the back of the Atlas was a chapter on Astronomy, thats when it started for me.
I got my first real 'scope, a 60mm crapmatic in 1980 when I was living in London and from there Astronomy has been my constant companion.
Oh the nostalgia
