Started observing in 1963 targets were the Aurora Borealis and the heavens above central Finland using a WW2 Russian made rifle sight scope. Nearest street lights were a decade away, totally dark skies and observing could take place from 3pm to 9am in winter in summer there was no dark to talk of.
In the 70s spied the skies from Canberra with regular trips to Mt Stromlo and the Oddie Refractor, own scope was a 60mm Tasco or similar ....
Fast forward to 2013: now again have nice dark skies over Jindabyne
with 6" F10 Istar Achro refractor and Vixen R200SS fast Newt.
Favourite eyepieces Vixen LVW 13mm and 17mm.
