I want one of those auto scopes and a little remote controlled model truck with the scope mounted on the back..nothing fancy just functional and reliable..able to come into its parking bay under the van and connect to its charging station to re charge both it and the scope... and yes I find pushing the button more difficult each day ..but I saw this add where they are offering a switch that attaches with a sticky back when you pull off the protective stripe and it operates via your phone to switch on or off most things..now add voice control and we a getting there...so I envisage driving the little truck out from under the van, watching it via the security cameras parking it on its little pad and pressing the go button by remote and having the photos processed after they download on my phone...

I like the photos for the effort involved, the character building process one goes thru maintaining the gear, funding the hobby, capturing and processing but most of all I like the time I take to learn about the object that I have captured and gazing at the image and just trying to grasp the sheer size of what I am looking at and most of all wondering about the possible life and even if there are countless civilizations within the field of view that I have captured.
