That is a thing that I too as a new user observe, there appear to be:

1. fewer industry standards than I expected (Meade and Celestron do their own things) rather than comply to standrds they foist on the rest (particularly for software interfacing to their mounts

2. Celestron don't go out of their way to document how their mounts specifically operate nor describe any software interfaces nor tell what open standards software can interact with their hardware

3. Manuals for most equipment are technically dry and not well written to do more than boot your equipment and show you the basics. There is poor troubleshooting or expectation management. There is almost no planned learning ladder and next steps to wlak you through.

The journey towards knowledge seems alot less well planned in this regards than it ever needed to be!
