A few more...

You are an astroholic when:
  • You have a red light on top of your dob to warn aircraft.
  • You use a green laser pointer for Powerpoint presentations.
  • You read ephemerides more than the newspaper.
  • The rear window of your car has a centre spot so you can collimate the rear view mirror.
  • Your sleep is broken into 2 or more sleep periods based around astronomical events or imaging runs.
  • You cringe when someone mentions a shooting star, and then nonchalantly name the meteor shower it belongs to.
  • You surf Google Earth when bored looking for launch sites, observatories, or impact craters.
  • You've visited Coonabarabran while on holiday.
  • You eat dinner before astronomical twilight is finished.
  • You take batteries out of your torch to make your laser pointer work.
  • You close your eyes while working on your scope during the day.
Al.
