stolenfeather Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It's a passion that keeps on growing every time we look through the eyepiece. However, I wish I had fallen in love with a hobby that didn't eat away at my wallet so much. Furthermore, astronomy nurtures a very unhealthy relationship between humans and cloud formations don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 My best hobby atm is playing pool for pool teams got a bunch of trophies, but as I get older astronomy will probably overtake it as my favorite hobby. But still I'm only 31 years got plenty of time for astronomy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starstalker Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 yeah we know that feeling, it will pass, and a feeling of emptiness,loneliness,heartbreak,sorrow,brief moments of elation followed by vast periods of inadequate contemplation! but we do love them shiny sky jewels! also it costs a fortune for the privilege!

brantuk Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mike - it's probably been caught by the swearing filter as an anagram of a particular type of fish who's letters can be re-arranged to spell an undesirable word in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbyrne Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It can be as frustrating and as rewarding as my other main hobby, golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talitha Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Being an Amateur can be frustrating at times, and can also be a bit expensive, but a lot of interests can, depending on what they are and how deeply you get into them. For me it's worth it, though. Looking at the night sky gives me the same Peace that meditating does. It's like getting a soul-massage, if you know what i mean... it soothes my Spirit, satisfies my Curiosity, and feeds my Intellect. Can't ask for anything more than that, IMO.

Andrew INT Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think the best thing about astronomy is that you can pick your own level of involvement. You can just look up at the sky and say "gosh, isn't that pretty", or you can begin imaging, recording scientific data or begin to understand physics. If it wasn’t for getting my first telescope a few years back, I would never have begun my study towards an astronomy degree (OU). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
