AstronomyUkraine Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Unfortunately, this addiction has no known cure. Symptoms include an overwhelming urge to buy every new toy on the market, and a wish list far greater than your bank balance. ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPK_Astro Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ah... pity me, I'm also an amateur musician and prone to GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). Seems to apply to astronomy as well. Looks like a nice set-up. Since my Esprit 100mm arrived at the start of September I've had one decent clear night and that was 6 weeks ago... I feel your pain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incisive_Solutions Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 @RPK_Astro I like that you're prone to GAS :D Me too - and I really need to find a moment to put my gear on here too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padraic M Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I find that the 'Have-Need Analysis' technique works very well. Look through your favourite astro retailer's website and classify everything as either 'Have' or 'Need'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
