I still consider myself primarily visual, although time and weather have largely got in the way of it. There are two reasons I do dabble in AP though. One is to share what can be seen up there with people who can't come and spend an all-nighter at the top of a ladder, and the other is because I can do photography from my backyard in a relatively large city.
For me, nothing comes close to the satisfaction of star-hopping onto something right on the limit of detection for a telescope, and then trying to see what photons my eyeball can detect.
The AP experience for me is a totally different kettle of fish. But I like that too.
cheers,
Andrew.
