Hi Lee, you’ve pretty much summed up why I do not do photography anymore - not enough time in dark skies to make it worthwhile. I do a bit of visual just for fun these days.
If you have kids it just gets worse until they’ve developed some independence - 10 years at least - by which time the electronics will be well and truly obsolete - if they work at all - and in this respect I’d suggest consider parting with the cameras.
A good mount and scope are worth keeping though if stored so they don’t grow fungus - as they don’t really become obsolete provided the electricals work.
