About 18 years ago when I first considered purchasing a telescope,( my very first one ) .. I didn't know what I was in for ... Problem was, at first I did try to stay on budget. But then something happened. I got hooked. A few thousand dollars later, I'm still wanting to buy more.
Is there a Betty Ford Clinic for us scope collectors?

You could always try going cold turkey Col.
But why would you want to.

I shudder to think how much money I have gone through over the years on astronomy gear. I do know I would be much better off financially if I hadn't spent it

I don't see any problem. If you need something for you favourite pastime you should be able to use any available money to buy it, even if it means someone else has to go without. After all its your money isn't it?:thumbsup::help:

To All You Sick Puppies,:)
I have a clinic in operation. I can cure your astro-holics addiction.
You only have to hand in to me all your astro toys and I will cure you.
You will also receive a certificate which certifies you of being free of this terrible addiction.:lol:
Beat the rush. The first 10 to join will also receive sissors and paper, with instructions on how to cut out paper dolls.:lol:
Cheers from Marty's clinic:)

Ah Yes ...!! But will I be cured... what withdrawal systems will I have to go through ..!!
What about ' after hours ' support ( during the hours of darkness :P ) when this compulsion seems to manifest itself ... by way of rushing outside and looking up ..!! :D
