Don't remember exactly when, but I was very young.
It got a pretty big boost when Halley's was around, I was 11 or 12.
My younger brother and I would sneak out of the house around midnight with mum's binoculars and go and meet a friend at his house. He had a small scope, don't remember it well though. We did this night after night for a week or more.
Not only do I remember those nights vividly, I remember how those nights felt and that feeling just washed over me briefly.... the cool night air, walking the pitch black streets (no street lights after midnight back then), the sneaking back into the house in the wee hours.
*Sigh*
