I've always been a visual observer. I think there is something special about seeing the actual photons that left object. It is more immediate and 'real' than viewing an image. I also used to enjoy the pleasure of the hunt - tracking down that mag 12 galaxy by starhopping - though at the moment I'm using a goto. I'll soon have a 25cm dobs going so I may get back into hunting the faint fuzzies.
When I started the equipment for photography was expensive, difficult to use and you were limited to film. Now it is relatively easy to get started and I have the equipment to dip my toe into imaging, so I'm thinking of trying.
