Actually my orignal question was "What do I really enjoy about astroimaging, and how do I go about maximising that enjoyment."
Most people responded to the first part because as you said "it is easy to answer" but none really answered the second part which was my stated intent. My fault admittedly because I did not define the question specifically. I am attempting to do so here.
It appears to me that in starting the hobby one makes an assessment of the necessary resources applicable to the hobby. Then as one progresses there are a series of choices which one makes in terms of return vs satisfaction which plainly revolve around resource. Having posed this question many times I get a clear sense that most people cannot rationalise these decisions clearly.
For instance you already leap to the assumption that on inheriting $100K you would spend it all on astroimaging. Is this in fact the case. I certainly would not. I have many other interests upon which these funds would be allocated. If I inherited $100K I would immediately allocate funds to a number of activies and come to some conclusions as to general approaches and goals that I could achieve in the astro imaging sector. So would I spend $10K, $20K, $30K and examine how would this expenditure impact my enjoyment in the hobby. It seems to me that this gives a more practical insight into how people maximise their enjoyment. Possibly my thought processes are unique in this regard. If so nothing venture, nothing gained.
I hope that helps.
