Found my 1st telescope today on ebay. I was about 10 or 11 when I got it. I thought it was a full blown observatory-like instrument that would show me anything. I remember the mount being stiff and hard to turn/adjust which led to my ultimate frustration with the instrument. The only thing I was able to observe with any clarity was the moon. This scope was responsible for igniting my fire for astronomy, a hobby that provides a lifetime of rewards. I miss this scope, and wonder what I could make it do with today's technology.
