Patrick this is a fabulous question.
Firstly, I must say I do have a high regard for anyone that images, because we get to see the glorious detail captured that we can not. I admire their dedication for what must be quite a lengthy pain staking process.
As for visual. Brent said it nicely - I think exactly the same way, I love the challenge. And the wow factor, it is amazing having your eyes to that eyepiece knowing that what you see is so ridiculously far away.
Admist the dark and lonely night which surrounds me, I feel taken away from this planet, it is easy to feel I have opened a curtain into space and I feel like I'm doing a space walk. It's a real high. And then, as others have said, it's a great challenge to bring out the detail in these objects, and your eyes just get better and better and doing so.
