The point of this hobby is to clean out your wallet of any cash, make you believe that the laws of physics change from one night to the next as you can't get your equipment to work, convince you that electronics manufacturers are on a mission to mess around with you and as an excellent upper thigh work out as you spend hours each night swapping between the finder scope and eyepiece searching for an object that you are sure should be there. BUT the views you get are yours and yours alone, you experience the universe and come to terms with its immensity. I literally get thrills when I am looking through an image I took, looking for the faintest galaxies, light from which left the stars there hundreds of millions of years ago.
