I like taking photos of the cosmos. I enjoy the challenge of learning the skills involved and the finished product allows me to study each object more thoroughly than is possible through the eyepiece.
I don't really classify it as science though, for me it's more like looking at pretty pictures.
What I'd really like to do though is capture lunar meteor impacts. It would give me a chance to make a real contribution to science. The information gathered is used in studies on the viability of permanent Lunar base.
