I look at at this way. Once you have the equipment needed, ongoing costs are virtually zero which can be said of very few other hobbies or persuits.
This of course is negated if you become a collector of scopes
Who has friends who own cars sitting idle, or a boat for that matter ?
Such hobbies or passions are huge money sinks.
As I dont have any other expensive hobbies I have no trouble justifying to myself spending on this hobby if I see value in what I buy.
P.S. JJnettie from what I've heard owning horses ranks amongst the most expensive of interests. Trading a horse (and its ongoings) for astro gear could finance some top gear
