I agree with what Leons says here. i wonder if it is a phase of life thing that makes one stop to smell the roses so to speak.
Rogerg made comment about the imaging side and the application of computer imaging technology appealing more to the young. Is this a case of just using a cool application of technology rather than a true love of the beauty of the night sky? I have seen people spend fortunes on high-fi equipment and stressing about having the best, so much so that they forget its real purpose which is enjoying the music.
