Reason for attending PC
This may be speaking out of turn but I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty that like all the guys that go to the PC, i have a great interest in astronomy ( otherwise I have wasted about $8000 on equipment). (Astronomy is not my sole interest)
I have met some very awesome,amazing, knowledgable and friendly folk at the nights out. Unfortunately we only meet up once a month and it becomes catch up time which involves socialising, talking, eating, having a drink, learning, observing and a multitude of other verbs. This is why I appreciate my nights at the PC.
If I were to dismiss the need for all those things and just concentrate on observing quietly i might as well stay at home and set up in my drive way.
