I remember once in high school there was a super long and cool meteor shower at like 2 or 3 am. on a school night. My parents let me skip school the next day, and my friend stayed over, and we stayed up all night to see it. Core memory unlocked that night.
I really like astrophotography but I don’t have the money to do it. At a minimum, I would need to buy a star tracker mount for my camera and then get stacking programs, but those pictures won’t be very good. For a good setup for astro, you need a telescope, a mount to fit your camera on, and other stuff.
It did help me get into other types of photography like macro.

Did that unlock some kind of interest as well? Like astronomy or space or science in general or something else?
Sadly they became an investment banker
