How did you get into Astronomy?
Just a random question.
I have always been fascinated by the Universe and Space. The many wonders that lay out there and the size of objects amazes me. I have to thank my dad and brother who did get me interested in the Universe as I was growing up.
But getting into astronomy was a little different.
Being interested in the topic for a while I remember always eyeing off a basic Celestron telescope at the shops whenever I went in. Eventually I bought my first telescope (Celestron 60AZ) for cheap just to see if I would like astronomy. I didn't want to spend a whole heap of money in case I didn't like it.
After using it for a few nights I LOVED IT! (especially after seeing Saturn). Therefore I used the telescope for around 4-6 months until I upgraded and got my 130 SLT. After that got into Astrophotography and now got my second scope.
This is easily in my top 2 of hobbies (with the other being scale model building).
