Here is the first real scope I used at 14 years of age.

Mrs Aitkin our head mistress, France Hill Comprehensive knew I was interested in Astronomy, her husband was Colonel Aitken, Aldershot and I was the youngest to get permission to use the 8" refractor, travelling up from Camberley by bus and collecting the key from the Army barracks opposite.

Evolution 8" HD EDGE, 120mm Triplet Esprit on Sky Tee 2, ZWO ASI 178 Mono, Daystar Quark Ha filter on 72mm ED scope, 6" reflecting scope, Nikon D810 / D4s, William Optics Bino viewers, 2" eyepieces,
