Just wondering what everyone's "other" hobbies are, or what do you do when not stargazing? I myself spend rainy nights brewing my own beer. You?

Why, fly a helicopter of course, what else?
I fly my Twister Medivac normally indoors, but that is getting boring, too restricted space ways. Many a morning , or late afternoon when it is calm, I fly the copter outdoors. Much more fun. I have begun taking the machine with me and I fly it after setting up the scope in the field.
Will up-load an image sap.

Surf the net.
Open the fridge door 100 times a day.
Go for a cruize.
Cheers Kev.

Work on layout plans for my model trains, cruise the net, read up on the latest papers for uni, watch some DVD's, do some work on the family tree etc etc.

I sit down and accept my misfortune in a civilised and calm manner.

Wow, they really like their clouds:



That's a new word for me. (BTW this post is a spam to get me closer to 100 posts)

Go into the workshop and make something for the telescope(s) in the hope that one day the clouds will clear ,,,

When the clouds roll in I practice on my Indiana Jones or Doctor Who pinball machines, awaiting the perfect game but I haven't quite nailed it yet. Indiana is a cracker of a game if you like pinball. Dogs sometimes get a walk too.

mmmmm, lemme see..... go on IIS, look up all manner of astro/space stuff, play guitar, play with my vintage watch collection, muck around with the kids watch doco's on Foxtel, fiddle around with astronomy equipment, ring a few rock stars for a chat, do some cooking, and do some fixing on the cars.

Looking clear here tonight, but according to the sat pic that high wispy stuff is pushing up from the south again, just enough to spoil the seeing like last night. I'll give it a go anyway as I spent the day giving the 10" a bit of TLC and made a few mods that need trying out.
