Well I was and I was collecting data.
Yes mega data is good and does have it's benefits for sure (done a few myself ya know ) buuuut one also needs to balance the desire to actually image more things with the need to produce a few perfect (?) images personally I think mega data is a litle overated for general objects of course if you can and wish to go right ahead

Hey you keep saying this automation thing and I get it, I do but at this stage I am content sitting there with the rod and fishing line in my hand listening to ABC radio thus far I haven't felt the compelling need nor am I in the position to go with the boat and net just yet

My feelings exactly...although a bit more would have helped for sure but this is a bright area and doing many hours is just not a good return on the investment.... IMO
