    Rightly so! I have to admit, my astronomy interests are more aesthetic than scientific, although I do find that the more one understands the nature of it, the greater the appreciation.
    A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

    Are/were you at UCL? I did maths and astronomy there for a few weeks and switched to maths and economics, wish I'd stuck with the astronomy now..

    Yes, I did my astronomy degree and post grad work at UCL.
    I didn't stay with it for my career, but it set me up nicely for the world of computer modelling and subsequently IT-related business management.
