Re: A Case for GOTO
09/26/07 11:43 AM

I love GOTO since getting my CPC. Granted there are those that decry it, but it saves me time and my time is limited. Many of my observing sessions are less than 2 hours. More time at the eyepiece is a plus.

The down side is that newbies to the hobby now don't need to know anything. Eventually, this may erode the amateur astronomer knowledge base.

Regards,
Tim
