Your Astronomy Injuries?

[Crater101 (Warren)]

Does a badly bruised ego from getting the exposure completely wrong on the camera count? I've had a couple of those imaging the moon and some of the nearer planets.


Add to that the corns in the ear from the comments of the wife about how I'm getting to old to be doing this sort of thing at night, I should be more careful, I'm going to hurt myself carrying the gear...the list goes on (and on, and on).

The original post suggested physical injuries. Your wife might be onto something, as eventually something will happen and then she will be right.
