I guess I'm a Fred sort of guy most of the time. I'm still happily surprised how much of a kick I get out of all the tweaking and adjusting when it all comes together and WORKS. My fav nights have been a mixture of both though. Beautiful dark sky site, gear WORKING (temporarily
), then heading off to hang out with the visual guys hoping to steal a look down a mega dob somewhere. Helps if you can smell donuts too - now I know why people like the SPSP.....
When I win the lotto and move to my country estates, perhaps a couple of imaging rigs in my observatory, along with a big dob (and one for friends) to go visual while my scopes suck down photons following their programs set during the day (to be processed next day if I feel like it).....
