Astronomy

1998 I received a set of 15x50 binoculars from my father. Started my star watching via it. 
2000 I received a 8.0cm-refractor, f/10, as my birthday present from my mother. I started my planet observing. 
2003 I caught the transit of Mercury in May. I got a 0.10m-refractor, f/7 from my parents, with which I observed the perihelic opposition of Mars in August. 
2004 I caught the transit of Venus in June. Failed to catch C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) and C/2002 T7 (LINEAR).
