I'm part of the Tasco club too. Mine was a Christmas present, 60mm refractor, and I remember the moment I unwrapped it like it was yesterday. To be honest, I never once gave one moment thinking about the quality of it; optics, mount, magnification, resolving power, as an 8 year old it was everything I had hoped it would be. For me it fired a lifelong passion for science, later on I would go to university to study engineering, joined the Royal Air Force, then mid career change took me to the classroom as a physics teacher. That telescope played a very big part in my life. I remember the biggest challenge I had was finding and identifying what I looking at. The moon was the easiest of targets, if only we had the internet back then , I may have had a chance of knowing what I was doing. Happy days, here's to Tasco. Jim
