I’d say without any question of doubt that your an extremely experienced astronomer with 45 years under your belt, Wow !!
Astronomy ended up being a hobby in retirement for me , started in 2016 and bought my first scope in mid 2017 , a 10” GSO Bintel Dob from Don Whiteman.
I’m more of an imager now but when conditions are good I really enjoy getting my SW 12” Goto Dob out during new moon at my retirement retreat South Coast NSW and throwing the Televue 21mm Ethos into the focuser. Breathtaking views what ever your observing
Cheers
