I've always been fascinated by the night sky.
Any doco on space would interest me.
And of course being a Sci-Fi freak I'm lost already.
But the hook line and sinker came when my boys were studying a little bit of Astronomy at school. For prac they invited this bloke to come with his scope to show the kids a few objects up in the night sky.
Parents were welcome to share the viewing.
The first thing I saw was Omega Centauri. To learn that that big fuzzy thing was in fact millions of stars just floored me.
I honestly can't remember what else he turned his scope to that evening I was so stunned.
Not long after that I bought my first copy of Sky and Space, got out an old pair of bino's and started searching for DSO's.
It's been nearly 5 years now and I can't see me slowing down.
