Good for you Ian, but mate you need to get out amongst it and feel the frost on your face, or something like that.
Then i am from the old school.

+1 for that!


I REFUSE to automate a single thing - no auto-focus, no remote anythiing. Also helps cutting down cable junk too (I have seen some people's setups where there are more cables than telescope). I relish sitting out under the stars, even when I am imaging, just letting it run but being near it and ALWAYS looking up.
