Im not really so to say hooked like some people, but iv always been interested in the stars and planets and black holes and other stuff like that. My first telescope was a 60mm refractor from tasco, that my dad bought me when i was like 9 years old. Iv had it for over 15 years now, and i didnt use it much off an on every couple years. I'v seen Jupiter/Saturn,Mars, Venus with it and there moons. I just recently tho bought a 10" dob from Zhumell i actually just got it today and as we speak im using it to look at the moon and stuff. Its still pretty light out so i cant see much else. But the moon looks awsome...
