I must have been about 10. My mother took me to the Easter show in Sydney and the Amateur Astronomers Supply Co (long since Astro Optics) had a stand in the exhibition hall.
I'd never seen a telescope before and was just transfixed. After my first Nortons Star Atlas and the Golden Books Astronomy guide and some months of pleading, mum took me over to their Crows Nest store and put an Ascotron 4.5" F8 reflector on lay-by for Xmas. I was so proud to show her Saturn from our backyard. Memories....
Regards,
Chris
