Hi All,
I was talking to my oldest son (who is 12) about astronomy, and he asked, when was the first time you looked through a telescope? I had to think really hard. I told him that i remembered I was about 8 years old, my son then dissapeared and about an hour later he ran back to me with a photo he found in a old photo album.. it was my first telescope and the old cane chair i use to observe in!!! my mother bought it for me on my 8th birthday, I remember looking at the moon just about every night it was visible.
so I thought id share
.. and yes the scruffy redhead is me
