Am I crazy?
A couple of weeks ago, we had brutal bone chilling winds and I took
out my 2 month old dob (my first telescope) to find C/2002 T7 LINEAR and to have a look at three of the gas giants. This weekend, despite being pounded with wind and snow, I brought my five year old to a local park (ours were the only footprints in the snow) to get a naked eye look at Mercury just after sunset. I find myself constantly looking at weather forecasts (only care about night time), reading astronomy sites and forums, and am starting to think seriously about cutting down some trees in my backyard. Am I starting to lose it?? Al |

You'll know you have really 'lost it', when you find yourself shooting out street lights, and sneaking into your neighbors gardens to cut down their trees, and external lights... I'm afraid the condition is as far as I know untreatable, but rarely terminal. Best Wishes |

Yes your crazy but we've been trying to keep it from you.
Quick somebody hide the chain saw. BUT it would be nice to have no trees at night wouldn't it? |

But when you order a wrecking ball to knock down the apartment block opposite so that you can see M42, you may have to revisit your therapist. |

No, your not starting to lose it, you've already lost it! and when you get
weatherbug on your computer so that you can keep track on all weather while online, ( like I have ) then you've crossed the line! -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.
