I'm gonna have to change my username!!!
How long: All my life as far back as I can remember as a little child. Fascinated by the dark night sky in far western Suburbs of Sydney (Seven Hills). Yes, the suburban Sydney sky was dark back in the early 60's!
Kept the interest as a stargazer until 23 years ago when I built my 1st Telescope (was also the first time I ever looked through one). I'm now 50, so I suppose I've been 'into' it for somewhere around 44 years. It is explained a bit better

Boy, I've seen some great stuff in all that time
P.S. My name isn't 'Ballarat'
There is my name just below.
