I was prolly 9, I got a Tasco 60mm refractor for christmas and i was overjoyed!. Then, the next day, one of the screws holding in the mount broke, redering the scope useless. Took 2 months for them to replace
But I still got much joy from that scope - gave me my first ever view of Saturn on a warm summers evening, will never forget it and the excitement of owning a scope
