My interest in astronomy was recently rekindled, mostly because of my impending departure from the light polluted skies of New York. The first time I remember wanting a telescope of my own was when I was in class 12th. I eagerly found out where one could get quality scopes in India, sent them a request for catalogue, received it, saw the prices, and promptly dropped the idea. Then in IIT I once had a chance to look through someone's telescope and the rings of Saturn left me speechless.
Fast forward four years, now I could afford a telescope but New York skies are a dull orange and stars are rarely seen. As I head for clearer and darker skies of California I plan to finally indulge myself. Seven years of waiting... isn't that something!
Enough of the posting, here is an amazing view from amateur telescopes.

I think the very fact that you revived a passion long dormant is something we all can learn from. Too often we get too busy to enjoy the things we love doing.
