Perhaps there was a misunderstanding here....
My comment was related to amateur astronomy (simply enjoying the starry skies and contributing to science here and there if possible at all) and not scientific research you are mentioning.
Of course robotic equipment are far more productive (that is why it is designed and built).
What I wanted to say was, I do not want this equipment as an amateur... If I wanted to be so productive in this kind of research, I would have to become professional.. one thing leads to another, and in order to keep the efficiency of research with supply of data from such robotic station, I would quickly find myself in situation with no time to do anything else ..
Unless I hit lotto jackpot :-)
