Recently my need for a good hobby has become as important as food and water. After much exploration, consideration, and lots of T&E, I found astronomy which spiraled into astrophotography with relative ease. If you thought collecting pipes was expensive... The two interests became passions which fit together oh so nicely. When you're out in the cold in the middle of the night gathering data, a pipe in the hand is so enjoyable and so useful. Astrophotography is a very solitary pursuit which, to me anyways, is greatly complimented by a pipe which made me wonder if there were any others here who'd discovered the same thing...? Obviously I'll ask around the astronomy forums as well, but I'm here first.
