Hey Jen, 
BUMP 
This is the funniest thread so i had to re-live it again
I had just finished reading the same thread. It was before my time.
Some of it is very good. All worth reading.
Well done Sheeny (Al)
Cheers Marty

You know you are an ASTROHOLIC when:
You consult star Maps when fitting " glow in the dark stars " to your kids bedroom ceiling just to make sure they are correct representations of the real thing.
Also:
when you are too tired to get the scope out for a quick fix, but you fall asleep on the kids trampoline, binos in hand, and wake up when a possum starts sniffing you to see if you are food or not.
Also:
Standing in flash rain shower holding a cover over your scope.... while you get soaking wet.
See ya
Geoffro.

Bugger, I'm one...
You own a 12V hair drier (and have short hair).
You spend more work time surfing Ice In Space and Cloudy Nights than working.
Och well!! Accept it, I'm a Nerd!!!

Yes I am guilty many times Jen.
Once I even managed to hit myself in the nose with the binos at the moment of conciousness / un-conciousness....that kept me awake for a while after that.

My name is Marcus ..... and I'm an astroholic. Here is my testimony ... - You'd rather die than throw away a single Sky & telescope Magazine
- All your Sky & Telescope Magazines are stored neatly into magazine holders and sorted by month & year
- You begin to think Star Trek techno-babble sounds plausible
- You get reeeeeeeally annoyed with friends that think you're an astrologer
- You're bemused when people ask how far you can see with your telescope
- You feel that Discovery Channel astro documentaries are waaaay too elementary
- You've said at least once - not tonight dear, it's a new moon night
- You curse & swear when your guiding is off by more than one pixel
- You're inconsolable when you have to throw away one sub-exposure
- You think the clouds are deliberately working against you

wow - everything is so true - and one more to add is that the wife doesn't understand the need to look at new gear or that after months of cloudy nights even imaging a full moon is an option

Cant wait to see the eclipse in 2012
I better book now also..
It would be nice to get together with a lot of other " Ice-in Space-ers"
and have a blast of a time.
Also, youn know when you are an Astroholic.....when your wife asks you to watch the road instead of the Stars while driving at night....
( I have tried the Navigation excuse too many times now )
