Small group doesn't matter. Being in the field for 2 yrs, whether u are engaging in small group or larger group is not the main point. There are too many gossips, rumors & fallacies in local astronomy groups. One needs to be critical to differentiate right or wrong. In some cases, there is no right or wrong, but people seem to make things binary. Maybe they are computer scientists who like Boolean algebra. There are tons of examples, like "forget about TMB for astrophotography", "Baader zoom eyepiece is made in China", "curvature radius of focal plane is the focal length", "there is no planet at the zenith", "the most popular telescope is the best telescope", "when a lift starts to move upward, the weight is increased", "in relativity, time is the only variable in distance measurement" etc. After knowing sooo many fallacies, I used to treat them as jokes. Never take it serious. However, the bad point is that some of fallacies do "poison" some people. Anyway, I enjoy my present state of being in a "small group".

和Willis及David發起Astrocafe,就是相信自己天文圈中的小眾,但仍需要有自己的發表空間。過去一年多的分享、也有發勞騷,的確影響了一些人的想法,也獲得一些同好的認同,也多謝Tony的信任,接納了我的建議,用著跟我相同的配置,到現在也客觀地驗證了一些說法。我相信Astrocafe在可見將來都是天文圈中的小眾,但我們的觀測、基建、遊歷經驗都是值得關注的。
