You mean the most expensive hobby. |
Does it cost $100/hr. to rent or $30,000-$2 million to buy equipment? No? Try flying private planes. :)

I'd be interested in knowing what those white dots, and lines are that spread across the moon. Like a beach ball or something, what is that?
Its certainly captivating, almost hypnotizing. Beautiful. |

White dots are meteor craters. Lines are debris fallout from impact.

It's EASY to spend $30K on astronomy. $2M might take some doing, but building a nice home observatory is NOT cheap, especially when you consider that to work worth a damn, you need to build out in the middle of nowhere.

Well then what is the dark spots, all along I thought the dark spots were huge holes, or craters? |

Yeah, VERY expensive... I'm fascinated by space, but will be content to look at other people's work. I love the Internet, because of this. It's so easy to peruse thousands of images.
My vision doesn't really work out well for astronomy anyway.

When you can't buy it, rent it.
I watched a show on these guys (or some other batch of guys doing the same thing) setting up these observatories on the top of a mountain somewhere in bfe. |
