I can relate to being overwhelmed by imaging to the point that I lose interest. That kept me away from imaging for many years until I figured out my current simple, easy and reliable setup.
Advanced VX mount with StarSense auto alignment
ASPA polar align routine
MGEN II stand alone guider and camera control
DSLR on a refractor
It's far from the best setup but it's easy, fun and it always works. I calibrate on each object and don't lose any subs from poor tracking.
One day I might move to a laptop and astro-cam but I'm in no hurry.
