To be honest, I don't feel at all tempted to get a fully automatic go-to thingy. Somehow, ever since I started stargazing, I wanted the sky to be a familiar place and know my way around it, not just get chauffeured around to the sites - I don't know whether that makes sense. If I look up at the sky on a clear night, having searched for all these objects myself gives me this kind of familiarity with it that I find very comforting.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
