I find both to be very useful tools!

Ah, I am pretty sure the 's was there. It doesn't even make sense without the 's...
I have it on too by the way because I type really fast (really fast!). I also type fast when I am not in a hurry. I don't know, I just have nimble fingers (maybe because I also play the piano). Those fingers are little demons sometimes (not always good!).
I assume you have both a normal and a go-to telescope. That's OK. I think the danger is for beginners because if they only use a go-to scope they won't learn much and if one night they don't have it it might be problematic for them to find what they are looking for. Once you know the sky reasonably well it is OK I think. I am still a beginner of course, but I am now usually finding my way around the limited part of the sky in front of my balcony (although unfortunately I haven't seen many stars this year...) I usually use Starry Night. I would like to learn more now though. It starts to be boring in front of my balcony with a small telescope.
I am not losing interest, but I really need more now. The lunar eclipses would have been right in front of my balcony, but of course I didn't see a single one because of the weather...
