I just realized that I've probably spent close to the same amount of money on astrophotography gear in the past few years as what a hair transplant or top surgery would cost. Yet somehow, that doesn't bother me in the same way as thinking about getting either procedure.
I'm afraid because of dumb, not valid reasons I should just ignore. I'm applying a double standard to myself. I don't feel like *I'm* worth the money, as if my happiness isn't nearly as valuable as a telescope.
