about Practical Astronomy
We prefer the term "Practical" Astronomy , instead of
"amateur" astronomy , ("Self Learning" can have the
meaning of a personal , voluntary , self-motivated ,
asocial and ongoing pursuit of knowledge of the best
kind But "amateur" means usually "inexperienced"
& "unskillful". Secondly amātor is the Latin for lover.
Lets be serious here .. You don't have to "love" anything.
"Love is for amateurs")
