I grew up in a small town outside of Houston, away from the city lights - so I did a lot of telescope viewing as a child. got several merit badges for astronomy, and numerous chest colds standing out in the damp air.  :laugh:

That must have been cool. My parents had friends who had a telescope, and I was taken there once to look at the moon, I believe. But the friends were not kid-friendly (they had no children of their own), and that once was the only time.

Brokeplex, did you ever see any UFOs, or at least anything you couldn't identify, when you were star gazing as a kid?

yes, looking back my parents were the very best! yes I have seen several UFO's in the area, there is in fact a documented case of our local county sheriff sighting a UFO in the area in which I would later star and planet gaze.
