Hi Alan.
I should be so fortunate that I have a wife who does understand why I take off to pursue Jupiter rising or visit my dark sky site for a few hours..spend hours/days/weeks in my workshop trying to improve the optics etc...but I always remind her that SHE COMES FIRST cause sometimes you do have to sacrifice that clear night once in a while for the sake of peace..(and have a good cry after..LOL!!!)
But in your favor you will be part of one of mankinds oldest sciences, a noble and respected profession/hobby in the study of the heavens..by gaining understanding you will be recognized as a learnered collegue and partake in opening the minds of others, to show them the wonders of the Universe...(I know it's a bit waffled but I am exercising my poetic licence at this point in time)
Good luck Alan!
