Rodstar that would make another interesting thread, how many of our spouses/partners are also interested in this hobby and to what degree do they support us. I think my wife and yours must have been friends - "that dot there, that's it?" I have for several years been looking for new stars in galaxies far away, exploding ones that is. Why? The fascination of the immense forces at work and knowing that 99.9% of the population can't come close to imagining that. Perhaps being the first to "see" image an event like that and then thinking of the implications in millions and billions of years. That is after all why we are here. This keeps me looking at the stars and I thoroughly enjoy it.
