At age 8 or 9 I built a rough as guts astrolabe as best I could from pics in a book, 'cause I couldn't afford a telescope then. Don't remember what I did with it but felt good I had some sort of instrument, either way it led to a telescope. To me a few pieces of pipe that you can sight through and get a bit of excitement is just dandy until that big scope arrives at Christmas - only 102 sleeps to go!
