I started doing astrophotography ~5 years ago because I found the mysterious beauty of the incomprehensibly large cosmos a rejuvenating, wondrous thing. In the course of my fun I built a star tracking mount that people seemed to like, so I refined the design, built 10 and sold them on Etsy to test the waters of entrepreneurship. Today, I sell 20-30/mth via a dedicated store.

How often do I do astrophotography these days? Never. In fact my camera broke and I haven't bothered to replace it. I don't have the time.

Has the entrepreneurship been worth it? Probably. But I do miss looking at the stars.
