Put me in the tinkering group that likes to tweak electronics and optics. Although I occasionally grab 20+ hours of light on a target - I think for the moment I like getting mid range gear to perform like really higher end equipment. Watching three scopes nail target after target, seeing amazing tracking and much better pointing than gear of my price range should achieve pleases me. I love to try and get gear to the set and forget perfect stage - which takes a lot of work. For me it's a long term learning curve so if I continue with the hobby into eventual retirement I will have learnt most of the necessary skills already and can then just apply my hobby with some ability. Once you master signal acquisition - you can start on the sizable task of learning how to best process your captured data set - a huge task in and of itself.
For everyone the journey should be different but the joy is undeniable!
