My other hobby is Astronomy. Both RC & Astronomy I loved as a kid, but neither did I get to do until I was an adult. Now I'm kinda making up for lost time.
Astronomy is very rewarding to me but the times of having a clear dark sky to view is few a far between. That's why I'm glad I have RC planes to fall back on.
As far as viewing the Stars from dark locations places near my home. I do attend week long Star Parties in the Spring and Fall. Soon to be going to the Staunton River Star Party in VA. On March 7th.
Everyone be on the look out for ''Comet Panstarrs'' in mid March. Look to the west just after Sunset to see this Great Comet. It should be naked eye viewable just like Hale-Bopp was in 1997.
My Telescope now is a 12 inch Orion Dobsonian reflector Telescope with DSC (Digital setting circles) in short a computer. See in the attached photo.
Regards, Jim

). Its actually quite depressing. Also majority of the time you couldn't even see anything anyways as its usually cloudy... God do I hate this city wish I had the cash to leave, and live somewhere else as majority of my things I'd love to do are not very compatible here...

RE: off-topic...what other hobbies do you have?
I build a lot of plastic models, mostly cars and trucks now, military stuff before that I do have a long term project of a 1/35 scale fantasy sailing ship on the go too. Big into model railways but thats on hold for lack of space at my current place, drag racing at a street level with my street car and crew on pro cars too. Was a mad dirt biker in my younger years but a bad accident took the confidence away. Been getting back into airbrushing and drawing a lot lately and of course RC cars. And watching the rain fall.
phmaximus, dont see too many people doing up the marquis, and nothing tuffer then an XC Cobra, I like your taste in cars mate.

I like to build plastic scale models. Mainly cars and some motorcycles. Here's a few pictures. I recently finished a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona in 1/25th scale:
Here's a Honda RC211V in 1/12 scale:

Wow nice job with those models. I've always had horrible luck building plastic models, they never come out looking that great - mainly since I hate painting.
My main other hobby is boating, I have a couple powerboats and a small sportyacht docked in Berkeley. I try to get out on the bay weekly, and a couple times I've taken the yacht down to southern CA along the coast.
I have a small, old sailboat too but I'm not really into sailing, I like big engines instead.
I used to really be into computer hardware, I'd build and modify PCs a lot and built a lot of watercooling and phase change cooling systems. Lately I haven't really cared much for that stuff though. I got into it because I liked PC gaming and would keep up with hardware, but now I just use my PS3 and Xbox 360.
I'm also into art collecting and interior design, I used to work for a company that did that stuff. I still take a lot of pride in how I keep my living space and like nice furniture, art, decorations, etc.
