I have been interested in Astronomy since I was about 10 when I was bought by my parents a Tasco 50mm refractor. Then I was distracted by school and "other things" that a teenager becomes interested in! However I ended up choosing to do a degree in Astronomy at UCL and after that I had children however now it it is time to return to my hobby.
I now have in my possession a Celestron Nexstar8

I also have a Celestron Nexstar 102SLT refractor
