Astrophotography - the world's most demanding exercise since it's mostly done with lack of sleep.
Oh to have endless funds......

Funny, as you may know I used to train for and compete in one of the craziest, toughest and most physically demanding sports (Strongman) which it is not hard to imagine could have been less than kind to my body over the decade or more I practiced this art ...but since then I have learned to operate on next to no sleep, night after night and not just at the scope but also on the computer... and I wonder what this may be doing to my body in comparison to the rigors of carrying 400lbs in each hand 100m and bursting tiny blood vessels in my neck, shoulders and eyelids and tearing skin off my hands ...

Cheers Houghy, I'm still deciding on the magenta cast, leave it with me... but I'm not going to sharpen it any more.
