I think it was when i was a young fella year 6 i think and my oldies brought me a project book for my project about the moon (
) then it progressed when i saw comet Mcnaught? last year, and my mate with his 100 dolla DSE wobbletron that was up the duff gave me that, now for the last 6-7 months though talking with people in the know i have got it to a reasonable state of viewing even though the view finder is 4x35 with a massive chip in the objective lense and half the 114 mm mirror missing due to my mate trying to "clean it" he cleaned it alright cleaned the mirror right off.
but even so, views of saturn and jupiter have been possible but the best and thing that pushed me over the boundary to get a decent scope was of all the Jewel Box mag 4.2 in the city with that old scope and i even picked the colours.... SOLD ! DONE SAID MATCH
