What an excellent article Joe. Thanks for sharing it with us all mate. The final practical example in Appendix 3 is sort of scary for the oldies with big scopes. A lot of us dream of having a retirement scope of 18"+ for visual, but it sort of doesn't make sense to move in that direction in later life as alluring as it is.
Like others here, I've already moved on to EAA and traded eyepiece time for screen time. Certainly I've seen more with EAA than I ever did visually, but it has been at the expense of the enjoyment of relaxing under the stars in my observing chair enjoying the views through my (now sold) Naglers.
I guess we all have to make allowances for being fortunate enough to get old and EAA for me has been a minor one that's opened my eyes to so much more viewing in recent years. This is especially so given the endless march of light pollution into my area.
