Thanks.

This is a little disconcerting. You're basically saying observational astronomy is colourless and soon gets tedious, and only astrophotgraphy and the colours it can bring out is really worth pursuing?

If thats the case I don't think this is dobsonian-specific, because as I understand it you see less with an EQ mount than a dob (except maybe on planets), and everything is still 'greyscale' with an EQ unless you get into photography?
