Im with all the other fellas on your visual upgrade
I went both ways, im doing Structural engineering atm and sometimes its insane but on nights where i know im going to be staying up most of the evening i turf the EQ6 out my bedroom window and remote image while im studying.
Though normally during a 7 month stint starting at the beginning of Sem1 though to the end of Sem 2 I don't even think about astronomy, but come that off time.. i jam in 12 months of astro in 5 months
On the flip if everything is getting ontop of me and i need to get away for a evening to clear my head, its the perfect outlet! dark skies nobody around quiet and piece while i am doing something I love.
Good luck
