My first telescope
(1969) was a Tasco 2.5" refractor. I ended up trading it for a go kart. My next scope
was an 6" Criterion reflector in 1972. It cost $199! I sold it in 1978. I then bought
a Meade 2080 SCT in 1994 which I sold in 1995 when the twins were born. My latest toy is a
Meade LX90 8" SCT. Here are
some pictures of the scopes and other astronomy things...


My luck with boats...we bought this boat in Oct
94 and found out in Jan 95 that we were going to have twins so it was
time for a new set of wheels
for
travelling. We needed a vehicle that we could fit 3 car seats in
when we made our
trips. We had to say goodbye to the boat and hello minivan.
