I come to Astronomy through visual (doesn't everyone?).
I've taken a detour through the astrophotography thing for a bit.
As mentioned, it's a massive learning curve (but fun, if you enjoy that sort of thing).
I've never been one for sketching, personally, and I love the fact that you can record the moment if it's a transient phenomena, or really pull out detail that the eye cant see, for faint fuzzies.
One day, when I have the astrophotography down a bit, I plan to run through an observing list with my dob while having my photography setup 'follow along', recording what I'm seeing, but also to compare what details I can and can't see through the eyepiece. Sort of like a cross between Astrophotography and Electronically Assisted Video Astronomy.
Eyepatch mandatory, of course.
Best
Markus
