Just a few sentances from a friends site about DSO observing to the max!

You know your a deepsky observer when...

You have NO use for setting circles. Star hopping to a 18th mag. smudge is a 
breeze.
You think GM's Daytime Running Lights are some kind of evil alien scheme.
Your choice of a new vehicle is determined by the size of your scope.
Your ideal site would require oxygen.
You consider the moon a major annoyance.
You contemplate ways of destroying the Earth because it's in the way.
You pack Dry Ice around your head to reduce the "noise" from your retina and 
optic nerve.

optic nerve.
Your favorite objects are objects you can barely see.
You enjoy looking at faint fuzzies with the smallest possible aperture.
You could do a Messier Marathon from memory, if you still bother with 
Messier objects.

Messier objects.
You observe M42 at the end of the sessions because it DOES ruin dark 
adaptation!
You'd rather observe than go on a hot date.
For some reason you're always depressed when that time of the month (full 
moon occurs.
While spot checking the collimation of your dob, you note that with 
concentration you can just begin to detect spiral structure in the dust 
coating your primary.
You can talk with a red flashlight in your mouth.
In order to provide better spousal communication, you buy your wife a light 
bucket and compare notes.
Your wife places a picture of herself in your favorite star atlas, to remind 
you of what she looks like.
