I've had an interest in astronomy since I was a boy, but didn't really get into it till I scored a 60mm refractor and GEM from the local tip about 20 years ago. Still got it and it has the occasional outing. It got trotted all over midwest WA in my work ute and gave me some great nights out in the dark skys. Since I retired last year the scope family has grown a bit (as the bank balance decreased in proportion
) and I'm looking forward to many more enjoyable nights.
