What’s the difference between Astronomy and Astrophysics?

Judging by the names, my guess would be:

Astrophysics: Study of the physics and structure of the sky and what it contains (planets, etc).

Astronomy: General study of the sky, planets, etc and general behaviour of it without going too deeply into the physical make-up of it.
