I find the processing tedious but enjoy being next to the telescope seeing the images appear on my screen.
Maybe this is why I mostly do photometry and spectroscopy. The results are immediate.

For me it's become my zen moments- away from work kids and house, under a clear sky, peering into infinity, thinking big concepts. Having a nice pic to show the folks is a bonus.

Hi Terry & Graz,
I can understand that and I really do enjoy time under dark skies, especially with a few other like-minded individuals to chat with (and share wine & cheese, perhaps) while the scope is whirring away. It's just that I find the capture part becomes fairly mechanical and that processing is more challenging... for me at least.
I guess we're all different. I believe there are actually people who would rather look through an eyepiece
Cheers,
Rick.
