Are you more in backyard astronomy (telescope, a few eyepieces, and just enjoying the stars) or the technical part of it (theories, physics, etc.)?
-
I'm strictly a backyard astronomer. I got my fill of mathematics and physics as an undergraduate, and haven't looked at a physics book since I got my B.Sc.

Amateur astronomy tends to be defined by the backyard binoculars/telescopes type, or the ones with larger telescopes actually contributing useful observations (binary stars, asteroids, supernovae). The people who come up with theories about physics but have no formal training in it are technically referred to as 'crackpots'.

I enjoy the technical part more now. I'm basically a naked eye amateur astronomer, although I have binoculars. but not a steady mount, and the eyepieces for my telescope were stolen almost a year ago, although the person who took the telescope did return it when I started making noises about making a theft report to the police. I may still do that. I have only until the middle of July to do that.

I am a total amateur and just like to scope out the planets and nebula, however I do like to read whatever I can understand about physics and astronomy. If you want to read some stuff that is fairly easy to grasp and will expand your knowledge of the universe Stephen Hawking has two excellent books to the novice into this stuff and they are a Briefer History of Time and The Universe In a Nutshell. They were a little rough at first to grasp but he is clearly going out of his way to break down astrophysics principles to people who are interested but not physics students or astronomers. Whether you care about why things do what they do or not just looking at it all and knowing just how unbelievably huge and complex it all is is pretty mind blowing and easy to appreciate

A little of both. Have my own observatory now and a decent sized scope. I'd like to get more involved into pro-am research work. Still need to work on some basic skill sets for data rigor and need to upgrade my CCD camera, but mostly I need clear weather. It's been one damp and cloudy Spring here in Oregon.

I'm sorta more into the technical part of Astronomy and have been ever since I got my hands on a space encyclopedia. Don't get me wrong I enjoy looking up at the stars but I enjoy the technical aspect of astronomy more.

I am more of a back yard telescope astronomer. But I have done some physics too, like the orbit simulation in the source.
