What comprises your collection of astronomical gear?

Question by ReginaldQ: What comprises your collection of astronomical gear?
Okay, so I have about four equipments here, 2 reflectors and 2 binoculars. I rarely get to use them - my extremely busy work schedule and the very cloudy region I live in. Can you tell me stories about your collection of astronomical gear. I'd like to hear like from your first telescope or binoculars to the ones you really love to have, if you still don't have them...

Thanks in advance!

Clear skies!:-)

Too much to write here! Here's a list of my telescopes, past and present:

As for how I use them, the articles I write in the RASC Journal give a good picture:

My most used equipment nowadays is my 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain, my 10x50 binoculars, and my Coronado Personal Solar Telescope. My favourite objects are the Sun, the Moon, the planets, variable stars, double stars, and deep sky objects, just about everyting, I guess!
