The ONE thing I learned long ago is NOT..repeat NOT to keep track of what I spend on my hobbies...

Why make yourself sick...????

I Apply this method to my other two hobbies (woodworking and cars) also..

Heck you could have taken your wife on a 10 day ocean cruise and spend that much money effortlessly. And if you did all you have today would be memories...

At least you have your equipment and have "some" chance of a cloudless night every now and then...
SO you are way ahead in the game of life...

SMILE BUDDY... BE HAPPY... Sit down and think about what you WANT to buy next...(not NEED to buy).. BUT WANT to buy...

Clear skies
