I hear you Tony!
I had to think hard about justifying $1000's just to capture pics that somebody has already done and posted on the net.
But it is the challenge and the gratification you get when getting those shots yourself! Like you said - playing a guitar to make music......one day they may become a rockstar........doing astronomy may one day get you a comet or asteroid or SN named after you!!!!
