How much pain have you endured to see the stars???
Between my obs and my shed there is a one metre gap with a small 10cm drop that I mistimed the other night and spectacularly head butted the side of the shed. Now I pride myself in being a quiet backyard astronomer but the neighbours heard me that night and my language was somewhat primitive. It got me thinking about how many of us have stumbled around in the dark and almost killed ourselves in pursuit of it. I did a little tally of my escapades and was surprised.
QTY EVENT
1 Head butted the shed wall
3+ twisted/sprained ankles
7+ tripped over cables and went for a gutsa
20+ Bent up and smacked my head on the scope
How much pain have you endured to see the stars???
Cheers
Stephen
