microscope
Hi Markus,
I have been into microscopy for over sixty years (showing my age) and into astronomy for nearly as long. Both hobbies have alot in common. You can make it as simple or as complicated (costly) as you like. The problem with microscopy is that you do need chemicals which are often hard to come by unless you have a very friendly chemist, university department or high school. I recommend you look for a stereo (dissecting) microscope. Have a look for one with a trinocular head. It allows you to also take pictures and/or videos. This can be just as exciting as taking astrophotos to bring out the finest details. If you like it and you want to take it further then get yourself a compound microscope, again with a trinocular head. From there the possibilities are endless and you may develop the microscopist's equivalent of aperture fever! Wanting a different condenser, microtome etc. etc.
It's great fun and I enjoy both hobbies immensely
Huey
