I do discern a difference between the two yes. And I do enjoy both. Seeing for me is something where with at least some effort, detail can be made out, and detecting is more of the "Well there is SOMETHING there" type of object.
Funny enough I was expecting a slightly different question which relates to how I have seen some people observe versus others. I have noticed people at a star party, snapping around the sky and picking off a list of objects and as soon as they have spotted it, on to the next versus others (Like me) who will hunt for and spend some time looking at individual objects and trying to pick out detail.
Sort of like one person trying out the Messier challenge and "Getting" the full list that can be observed in one night, versus me spending half an hour gazing at M104 trying to see more in the dust lane.
