Crossdressing and Astronomy

[tbryant2k16]

One of my hobbies is Astronomy. So to get to really dark skies I have to travel an hour away. Since I'm normally alone and go to places where I'm the only one there. I pack a travel bag with other clothes like skirts, cami's, larger breastforms, etc.. Then change once I'm at my location. Then when I'm done and very early in the morning I drive home wearing the more female clothing. It's just a wonderful feeling.

Day to day I do wear female clothes, but not as noticeable.

Do what works for you.
I used to go out with my Dad and stargaze with his telescope.

[Robertacd]

I bet you have some dark skies up there. Astronomy is one of my hobbies too, but always tended to go out with groups when we were going a lot or going to places that we could run into other astronomers so I never did anymore than underdress...

Very good idea, I've done that once when staying out overnight to photograph the milkyway.

[Rachelakld]

My good friend lectures astronomy at the local university, and around the world while wearing a maths print or a star printed dress - her 2 current favourites
She loves shenovafashion.com/collections/women-in-stem dresses.

Her lectures are interesting if you want to know about star formations, binary systems & binary genders, gravity waves etc.

There was a meteorite shower last night so I took a beach blanket outside and saw 3 meteorites, 1 bat and 1 satellite in a little over a half hour.

[Bobbi46]

I have no street lights at all so on a clear night the stars around me are truly amazing. September is our annual meteorite shower month so of course weather permitting I will have my sun lounger outside a glass of whisky, all I then need is to decide on what to wear if it is a warm evening then it will be a short skirt blouse and maybe hose too.

[Crissy 107]

Bobbi, Outside on a sun lounger with a glass of whiskey, that’s kicking it up to a new level!

[Charona]

I suppose since our sun is a star, and all the stars are suns, a sun lounger makes perfect sense.

Can't move for astronomers in my gamer group (we play Elite Dangerous, a space flight sim based on our observable galaxy 1:1).

I'm out to a trusted handful of them.

Myself I have a 4"inch reflector that's gathering dust. I live in town and Wifeling and I don't have a car right now.

One day... Though whether I'll be able to do it with her while dressed is another question.

[Janica]

i thought this was going to be about which sign was more likely to crossdress :) i read astrology instead of astronomy...

Glad your hobby has added benefits tbryant2k16 :)

Had the telescope out again last night and got dressed. Luckily the mosquitoes eventually disappeared.

I love astronomy too and therefore have to correct a couple of posters. What you see in the sky are not meteorites but meteors. They become meteorites (a geological term) when they hit the ground. They are very hard to find on the ground and a great effort and luck is required to locate them.

[Bobbi46]

Yes Crissy, very real! star gazing here is beyond words to describe it, no ambient light just the sky twinkling stars meteors in the season, sprwled out on warm summers evening light skirt blouse and the rest plus the obligatory glass of wobbly water, by the way too many glasses and all of a sudden there looks to be two sets of stars, two moons and legs that no longer work, LoL!!

[Crissy 107]

GeorgeA, Thanks for the correction on that.
Bobbi, Maybe just stick to a glass or two of some good French wine. 🍷

[Jenny22]

"Wobbly Water" is a new one for me. Makes sense.

[JoanneNY]

Wine is fine, but Liker is quicker !

[GeorgeA]

Bobbi,

I also was puzzled by "wobbly water" until I came to the sentence about legs and then it all made sense.

Enjoy the sky. I haven't seen a dark sky since the big black-out. I think it was 2003?
Even though you're in France you probably heard of it. We lived through a few messy days then, but the sky was beautiful.

[Bobbi46]

GeorgeA Yes I have a whole host of odd sayings!

[Leslie Mary S]

I occasionally get to see the stars when I am up at the farm. Back in 1974-1075 got to see the night sky AND the norther lights. I was in Alaska. That was what I was doing one night when the island I was on was hit by a 7.5 x 45 second earthquake centered just 26 miles away. (Duration of an earthquake and distance to epicenter matter.

[Crissy 107]

On deck we have the Perseid meteor shower peaking August 13th.

[Stephanie47]

I live in an area with too much man made light plus a lot of cloud cover. Totally bad for any star gazing. One of the things I do remember from my tour in Nam was being out in the field and staring straight up at the southern night sky. It was beautiful. With a full moon and the star light it was bright enough to read with just that natural light.

[CD Rachel]

I love stargazing. I have an 11" CPC telescope. Unfortunately the alignment of clear skies and time to get away from the local light pollution seldom occurs. I get out maybe 1 to 3 times per year. But oh I can see so much with a computerized telescope with a large aperture..

[Angie G]

Maybe I'll take up Astronomy. :hugs:

I have an 8" reflector on a Celestron AVX mount and a 5" that I can put on the mount as well.

[Leslie Mary S]

Q. Can I use a wrapping paper tube to look at the stars if I paint the inside flat black? Grin!

A. Yes. but don't expect much magnification.

[Jane G]

Can't say I think crossdressing and astronomy are in any way linked. I too have a decent telescope, in the loft and enjoy many hours, studying the planets and their moons, Saturn is my favourite. I have been dressed on occasion, but the two are in no way related, in my life.

[Robertacd]

Actually Jane I think they are in a sense... The majority of us were probably social outcasts to some extent growing up. That has a tendency to lead people to technical and scientific careers and hobbies like amateur astronomy and amateur radio as these are pursuits that are usually enjoyed alone.

I happen to enjoy both of the hobbies I mentioned, I know several others on the forum are also ham radio operators and I personally know three ham radio operators that are openly transgender.

There's also many more astronomy/space themed women's clothes than there are for men. Right now I'm wearing a cami this stars and leggings with outlines of some constellations like the Big Dipper. Also have fleece pants with nebula on it.

[Bobbi46]

Apart from the stars on a good clear night the moon is also a beautiful sight to see.

My remote observatory makes a wonderful private yet outdoor sanctuary. Daytime open roof with walls let's me dress as I please without being seen, and even under dressing while doing outdoor maintenance is easy with far away enough neighbors to not worry.

[Robertacd]

You have your own Observatory?

Can I be your friend?.... :P

Ah the joy of having your own remote observatory. A place of solitude. Wish I had one.

But having a provincial park near me that's really dark and in the process of getting RASC Dark Sky Preserve status is also great. Also have another remote Heritage Park that's off the highway about 2 km.

We have a star party in this park on Sept. Long weekend. And when it's pitch black and no white light allowed. I will sometimes put on a skirt and do my observing. Even when I come to the park alone, and go to a remote spot I will change.

It's really one of the only times I can get out and really wear more feminine clothing.

[Crissy 107]

We had clouds for last nights meteor shower so we did not get to enjoy it. Years past this shower has been real good.

[Bobbi46]

Who needs to watch actual stars? you only need to bang your head head enough, problem solved!! LoL

[Crissy 107]

Bobbi, But then everything will look cloudy even longer.

[tbryant2k16]

Finally found an astronomy related bra and panty at Giant Tiger.

[Crissy 107]

I like it, you should wear it to the next meteor shower!
