It’s like riding a bike, although you get rusty if you don’t practice. Don’t sell your gear. Keep it and start widefield. I’m in the same boat with the nights. But every now and then I take a weekend off and go to the dark sites. You can Jerry rig a power connection from your car battery with an old extension lead and some crocodile clamps with a couple of cigarette lighter ports at the other end. Keep the engine running, though or else you are in trouble. Widefield is most fun under dark skies. Sleep in the car and keep warm with whiskey. If you go widefield guiding is usually not required once the mount is decently pole aligned. It’s really nice to calm the nerves.
