l think it has to be a balance, when you start a new hobby you go flat out, you want to get out every night, you get dissapointed when it's cloudy and when those little hardware or software problems occur and spoil a great evening. To some l am sure the novelty will wear off and it will become just an opportunity to get out when the skies are clear and others will give up altogether.
l loose the passion every now and again, but to me it is only a hobby and certainly not a priority.
Family comes first and l do spend a lot of time at work so l do not have time for the very late night sessions, l fit astronomy into the time l have left.
Because of this though l find l enjoy my time under the stars more when the opportunity does arise.
