The stars have fascinated me since I can think
When I was 10 I got a small lens telescope from a toy store. One with plastic lens
eyepieces and such. So I could see the moon a little bigger than
colorful pancakes and one or two craters. Sure, it was fascinating to
see something more on the moon, but it wasn't really fun.
Then when I was 15 I got my first real telescope for Christmas, a Bresser 114/900 Newton on an EQ2. It really crashed.
Moon-stricken by details, Saturn with its ring, Jupiter with its dust bands and moons, nebulae and galaxies-madness.
I then joined an astronomy association, was able to look through many telescopes and learned a lot.
At some point I made my own money.
Now I could gradually fulfill my childhood dream.
So I enjoy the nights, sometimes visually, sometimes I just sit next to my
setup, listen to the whir of the stepper motors while tracking while
collecting photons that have been traveling to us for countless years
and admire the starry sky with binoculars around the next day to process
the image data obtained and to fall off again and again.
