Astronomy. I have a big ass reflector that I use for struggling to find globular clusters, oggling the fuck out of Jupiter and the Orion nebula, and very slowly working my way through the Messier list*. I considered going to school for it, for a hot second, but I kinda really don't want to end up the fucked up publish-or-die academia world making less money than I do now but with PhD debt.
*I don't use a GOTO system. No judgement for people who do, I've even considered a GOTO mod for when I do outreach, but I think there's some magic in slewing on to target by hand.
