Well, not all of us still

Although the biggest advance as far as physical ease improvement goes, is reliable autoguidng...in the past to go 60min slumped over with your eye glued to a guide eyepiece was common but a struggle, 90min or 2 hrs was done on occassions but was very tough and thus very rare.
