Default Watching stars

Do you enjoy watching stars? In a good weather maybe with some amature telescop or so?

I can spend HOURS with binocular... LOL its russian navy-like one so you can see Moscow from Prague in a good weather jk No, really I can spend countless hours watching stars and looking for the ones you can barely see and you can actually see unbeliavable amount of them!!! Just amazing Its hard to keep your hands shaking thou especially in the weather like now is coming

Would love to buy a amaturely/professional telescope in the future and have a house with the window in the roof just for that purpose!

Lets hear/see your experiences, pics are welcomed if you have some professional gear or even took some pics of stars

I can look at the sky for hours. I've always found it extremely fascinating. Especially on summer nights I love to sit in a nice hammock and star-gaze for hours with my sweetheart.
