I was only 14 and had just developed a passion for astronomy and didn't know much about the astronomy scene. Quite a few people made their own telescopes at that time because big telescopes were usually too expensive to buy. The old "shed" on the east side of Symonds St was the first "Auckland Observatory". In terms of New Zealand astronomy, what Kiwi-led discoveries and developments over the last couple of decades would stand out as highlights for you? Do you believe that old childhood sense of wonder about the stars and space is still there in our kids today?
