Well, here's a good hobby for you -- cheap, I think you've got the talent and the location for it and you're already dreaming about it:

BTW, Excellent night last night until about 2.30am at our Southern Highlands site. Pulled in about 60 new galaxies and saw heaps of "old friends". Will post a report later though I think it will take a week to write up the observations.
