Re: OT Thirty Five years ago.

[Dario Bonazza]

16 in 1976.  I was studying electrotechnics at technical institute in 
Ravenna. Not yet interested in photogaphy at the time, I was rather caught 
by astronomy (which would quickly drive me towards photography), by motor 
races and by girls (the latter being the field of my lesser success, by 
far). All my (scarce) money at the time was put into building and improving 
my own telescope: a 200mm-diameter, 1500mm-focal length portable Newtonian 
reflector, then to be followed by a much more refined 250mm-diameter, 
1250/5000mm-focal length Newton-Cassegrain telescope in a purposedly-built 
observatory. At that later time (1982-1983), I was the proud owner of both 
an MX and an ME Super, dealing with planetary photography around 
30,000mm-equivalent focal length, obtained by a Cassegrain configuration 
plus eyepiece projection on film plane.
Cheers,
