Though I might not yet be classified as ancient, I also emit my share of gas. More than my share if you ask my wife.
I don't actually know what manual guiding is, but I suspect it involves peering through an eyepiece for hours and doing nothing else...? I kinda like the idea of setting it up, hitting Go and then retiring inside to watch Netflix while it collects the data. Not sure if I'd have the patience to sit and guide it all night, knowing that for $2-300 I could be inside instead.
