I had similar feelings a few years ago. Was fed up with the trials and tribulations of DSO imaging and with thousands of pounds tied up in astro equipment. But, thankfully, I never got round to selling it. After two or three years break, I suddenly got the bug again and since then kept going. At the time of giving up I would look outside and breathe a sigh of relief if it was cloudy - means I didn't have to mess about imaging! I had a good think about where I was going in life and switched to another hobby. I've since read that a number of members have found the same. It can do you good to have a break from all the difficult stuff and return with renewed heart.
