For the last year or so I've steered away from imaging and gone back to visual, it is just nice and relaxing to be under the stars with the charts and a glass of wine and enjoying the sights of the universe.
I will get back into imaging but I'm just having too much fun at the moment.

That is very true. So many people say they want to get straight into imaging and skip the visual stuff. Hi-tech goodies are really nice and tempting but I think it's best to start off simple and go on from there. That way, you learn your way round the sky and don't get as frustrated.
I can see the attraction of AP if you live in a city, though, to cut through the light pollution.
I like taking wide angle DSLR pics of the sky, though, although the results aren't the best!
