I don't know if Astronomy 'per se' is gaining in interest, but I know that Astronomy Forums such as this one has brought the loners together. Before joining AO (boring) it felt like there was only a few Amatuer Astronomers in Australia. And then discovering IIS and CN made even more difference. I truly wasn't alone!
I am now discovering (thru our Astro Club) that there are many more people out there who don't even think of looking for Astro forums on the net and continue on their own. On meeting these people I tell them of IIS, CN and SCP. There must be a LOT more hiding out there coz Telescopes always sell, and have been a popular item at D Smiths, Camera Shops etc for many many years.
