Hi Ron. I remember Brent Watson did some analysis of SLAS membership and found 90% of new members drop out within 2 years. This is a typical dropout rate for new hobbies. When Karen and I were heavy into fresh water aquariums I read in an aquarium magazine the same 90% figure for that hobby.
Exactly my point. Astronomy is no different than any other new hobby, when it comes to retention rates. No worries.
