Astro-dichotomies

Recommended Posts

Following the current refractor-reflector thread, I wondered what other broad (and of course, not very rigid) classifications there are in the astro-community.  For starters:

Refractor - reflector

GoTo - manual

Visual - photographic

Non-filter user - filter user

To each their own, of course, so it's just for fun and interest!

Going A - B, I'd be an A - both - A - B.

Doug.

cloudsweeper, B - A - A (maybe with later designs on being a B ) - A

furrysocks2, don't know neither I think - A I think 

I have a three way split for you

indoors - observatory - freezing your bits off

In that one I'm a C !!

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way... I'm both-both-both-both, both-both, hoping for all.

Not at all - the mark of a versatile astronomer!

And in your classifications, I'm neither; definitely A.

Fiddlers - scardeycats

Users - collectors

Night time - daytime

Observers - listers

Imagers - sketchers

I think that I have been every single definition mentioned above at some stage. Yes, even that one. I was a witch at my daughter's last halloween party.

Wealthy - Broke (although this isnt two separate classifications so much as it is a natural path for astronomers).

Tell me about it - just ordered yet another  EP this very morning!  (A zoom, just for a bit of variety!)

Leaving alone--customising.

out at dusk--up and out for the early hours.

cloud dodging--giving up for the night.

faint fuzzies--clusters and binaries.

new Chinese with vat--classic old made in Japan, no vat.

that's about there for me !
