Hi guys
It's great to read your thoughts and feedback and see that many of you have gone through similar feelings and not just in astronomy - it happens for every hobby.
When I take up a hobby, I get immersed in it. Most of my hobbies become passions. I don't do things by halves. Astronomy was no different. I guess it was a bit of burn out combined with the bad weather, and the increasing interest in my other hobbies.
Just not enough time in the day or days in the week to do what I want to do.
Moderation and Balance.. I guess that's the key.
And a few said it - astronomy will always be here. It's not like a physical hobby that you just can't do well when you get older. The galaxies will still be in the same spot. The stars will still rise in the east and set in the west. It will still be clear on full moon and cloudy on new moon. It will still rain when someone buys near gear
Just getting my thoughts down on
paper has helped - and I do need to decide what my goals are going to be and start planning how to achieve them.
Thanks guys and I really appreciate your feedback. I hope I can continue to bring you quality images in the near future.
