Hi guys!
My first memorable moment would have to be seeing Halley's comet in April 1986, from a dark sky at Yarramundi, near Richmond, NSW. Awesome! I can still picture it in my mind!

Then..... i would have to say my first telescopic view of a waning moon on the morning of 25th December 1986, through a 40mm Tasco refractor with the push/pull focuser, it came with a Rand McNally Moon map!

That morning i was hooked! Unbelieveable experience.......... I was 6.

As for deep sky objects.....it was probably the Jewel Box cluster through the 8" Grubb Telescope at Tebbutt's Observatory in May 1990! A fellow by the name of Steve Williams did the tour that night, i even have the paper clipping of the ad in the paper, i wanted to see Comet Austin but for some reason we didn't get to see it, from memory.
