Is there something you always wanted to ask an astrophysicist? Here is your chance.
I will try to answer as many questions as I can today. And if I enjoy it, we may repeat this later.
Some background: I'm a high energy astrophysicist working on black holes, neutron stars, accretion and massive stars with a pretty broad knowledge of the whole astro field (I did teach it at uni level), but little to no experience with hobby observing or astrophotography.
